My memories of childhood sing
They have that old familiar ring
Just kids trying to kick-the-can
Come see how fast that they all ran !
Or five-ten-ring-a-levio
Show me how far that you will go
Hear now red-rover, red-rover
Calling let Annie come-over !
But best of all, hop-scotch for two
That’s followed by the game Statue
Oh for those past and happy days
When life was sweet and children played !
