Let's Bring Back the Good Old Days

Let’s bring back those “Good old days” Claim it’s for the best Give everyone a washing bin Lye soap and scrubbing board Hang the clothes on a ‘clothes line” Outside to let them dry Bring back the “in ground” compost bin Metal cans of un-bagged trash Leave the mice and rats alone They have a “lobby” of their own Buy your groceries every day In bags for which you have to pay You’ll be in bed by ten at night Cuz that’s when they’ll turn out the lights So go ahead, I dare ya, Tweet it They serve us CROW knowing we’ll eat it John g.
