"Those days of Old
Those days of Gold."

When every man
With his pick and pan
Could make his stake;
When an ounce a day
Was very poor pay
And looked much like a fake;
When a few sardines,
With pork and beans,
Which every man could bake;
Made up a feast -
Not fed back East -
When he flopped a flapjack cake.
