Can you remember a time when this city was

A great place for architects and debutantes

A nice place for midwives and crossing guards

And on, and on...

Hold on children

Your mother and father are leaving

Do you remember a time when this pool was

A great place for waterwings and cannonballs

A nice place for astrologists and blow up dolls

And on, and on...

Hold on children

Your best friend's parents are leaving
