Where has gone the lands we knew? Of waving grass and glistening dew All fallen to the housing plan Devised by an educated city man Educated!!!! Those once green green fields and woodland tracts Have succumbed to bulldozer blades and felling axe No more the places where as kids we played On those beautiful sunlit days Now landfill sites and city dumps Cover the places where we once ate a picnic lunch Gone are the fields and woodland glades Where we once spent our sun filled days

For Those Of My Generation
Where has gone the lands we knew? Of waving grass and glistening dew All fallen to the housing plan Devised by an educated city man Educated!!!! Those once green green fields and woodland tracts Have succumbed to bulldozer blades and felling axe No more the places where as kids we played On those beautiful sunlit days Now landfill sites and city dumps Cover the places where we once ate a picnic lunch Gone are the fields and woodland glades Where we once spent our sun filled days
