Simpler Times

Horse driven carriages and umbrellas in the snow
Grey pavement, oh so dark
Gloomy every morning when the men are on the go
So happy when we used to have dinner as a whole

Oh my! Did you see that Mary has a telephone
Fascinating is not, let's go have a look
Maybe the girls and I will stop by for a cup of tea
And we'll admire the Boston sky as we sip in glee

Those were simpler times when we took pride in our own land
Had paper maps to guide our path 
Went on joyous journeys, glad
Those were simpler times when we took pride in our own clan
What Hercules did is irrelevant 
To me and all my lads
