Black History Month

Can you remember a time

When this city was

A great place

For architects and dilettantes?

A nice place for midwives

And crossing guards

And on and on

Hold on, hold on, children

Your mother, your father are leaving, leaving

Do you remember a time

When this pool was

A great place

For water wings and cannon balls

A nice place for  astrologists

And blow up dolls

And on and on and on and on

Hold on, hold on, children

Your mother, your father are leaving

Hold on, hold on, children

Your best friend's parents are leaving, leaving

Hold on, hold on, children

Your mother, your father are leaving

Hold on, hold on, children

Your best friend's parents are leaving, leaving

Oh

Hold on, hold on, children

Your best friend's parents are leaving
