Harry Nilsson - Dayton, Ohio 1903 Lyrics






Sing a song of long ago when thing were green and movin' slow
And people stopped to say hello and they'd say hi to you
Would you like to come over for tea with the misses and me?
It's a real nice way to spend a day in Dayton, Ohio on a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903.

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
Would you like to come over for tea with the misses and me?
It's a real nice way to spend a day in Dayton, Ohio on a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903.

    I love this song! Short and simple, but full of meaning. Nilsson is great. I love how the lyrics speak of the simplicity of life, in the same year and spot that witnessed powered flight. High satire indeed!

    w.... m....

    Oh, I wondered how many others got that subtext, pardon the expression. Adds a whole 'nother meaning to this beautiful song. I was living in Dayton when it became popular...could the Wright Brothers have had any idea how much they would change everyday life, let alone travel, (let alone space travel)?

  16. d.... ....

    I agree with crackfarm 76. For me it was all downhill after this.

  17. e.... e....

    @MigueGarcia1 yeah about nilsson...I used to listen to Mournin Glory Story every day and all the sudden two months ago the blocked it saying it was Sony Music. I thought he was on rca records

  18. I.... M....

    @MigueGarcia1 I tried, YouTube has some pretty random ideas about what Nilsson stuff stays and which gets blocked.
