When I was just a kid in forty-nine
The world was a much more hopeful place
The automat — the finest place to dine
Bob Hope and Jane starred in “The Paleface”
Our town had yet to see a TV set
Our telephone was on a party line
One penny, you could buy a cigarette
We viewed the House and Senate as benign
We rode our bikes to school every day
And milk arrived in bottles made of glass
We whiled away the hours at croquet
Latin was the language used for mass
Those times now seem the best of all and yet
How did we live without the Internet?
