Black History Month

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Hold on, hold on, children

Your mother and father are leaving

Hold on, hold on, children

Your mother and father are leaving, leaving

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Do you remember a time when this pool was

A great place for water-wings and cannonballs?

A nice place for astrologists and blow-up dolls?

And on and on and on and on

[Chorus]

Hold on, hold on, children

Your mother and father are leaving

Hold on, hold on, children

You best friend's parents are leaving, leaving

Hold on, hold on, children

Your mother and father are leaving

Hold on, hold on, children

Your best friend's parents are leaving, leaving

[Instrumental Outro]
