I used to like to listen to the tales of the old men

Who sat around the old park square

But the piddlers and the whittlers

and the checker boards are gone

There's a brand new office building there

And the street known as Maple is much wider now

And there are no maples to be found

Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of

Universal What You Call It

Bought my old hometown

There used to be good fishin' down

along the shady mill stream

You'd see 'em as they jumped and played

But the blue gill and the croppie

and the old mill made way

For Chemical Division Section A

They pulled up the flowers

planted by the Ladies' Club

And took the city founder statue down

Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of

Universal What You call It

Bought my old hometown

Yeah the picture show has had it

where I used to spend my Saturdays

With Jean and Roy and Pop along

Now the Brotherhood of Gismo Fixers Local 102

Is making it their temporary home

They cut down the maples along Maple Street

And of course the pool hall came down

Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of

Universal What You Call It Bought my old hometown
