[Verse 1]
Let's sing a song of long ago
When things were green and moving slow
And people'd stop to say hello
Or they'd say "Hi" to you

[Chorus]
"Would you like to come over for tea
With the missus and me?"
It's a real nice way to spend the day in Dayton, Ohio
On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903

[Verse 2]
Let's sing a song of long ago
When things could grow and days flowed quietly
The air was clean and you could see
And folks were nice to you

[Chorus]
"Would you like to come over for tea
With the missus and me?"
It's a real nice way to spend the day in Dayton, Ohio
On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903
