It's now "the patio!" What's happened to that rubber tire On which we used to swing? It's been replaced by a swimming pool And kids wearing rubber wings. What's happened to that nice old shack Where the kids once had a club? It's been replaced by a metal gym And a wooden soaking tub. What's happened to old fashioned love? "Relationships" have taken its place What's happened to the world we knew? It's gone to cyberspace.
