Towering Oaks shade the street below
Two-wheeled acrobats playing in the road
Their laughter fading as they're off to play
Baseball mitts on handle bars, they ride away
Oh how I long for those days
A three-person chorus carries a rhythmic tune
of "Apple Jacks, Cracker Jacks, Spitting on the Moon"
Tapping beat, leaping feet, jump rope sways
Breaking the boredome of the summer haze
Oh how I long for those days
A circling tricycle with wagon in tow
A cargo of passengers stuffed in a row
The ringing of a bell helps clear the way
Until "Suppertime" is yelled, then no more play
Oh how I long for those days.
