ime family parties we gave so long ago	A
When every near relation and distant cousins too	B
The married ones with children Aunt Mary and Aunt Sue	B
The grandpas and the grandmas yes everyone of kin	C
The nephews and the neices and some who married in	C
Came trooping to the old home with laughter and with smile	D
And had their fun together in the good old fashioned style	D
	-
The games we played have vanished and gone beyond recall	E
But I still can see the donkey that hung upon the wall	E
And Uncle Ben blindfolded his arm out like a flail	F
Trying to find the proper place on which to pin the tail	F
And I can hear the laughter that rose up like a roar	G
When Uncle Ben had pinned it upon the parlor door	G
And I can see the women folks sit on a crock and try	H
To pass a piece of linen thread right through a needle's eye	H
	-
The old time family parties when Cousin Will would play	I
The square piano for us in a real heart gripping way	I
And Lil and Tom and Annie would take their turn and sing	J
Those songs which took your fancy and had the proper swing	J
And when they tired of singing somebody would recite	K
A scene or two from Shakespeare and do the thing up right	K
Then we 'd all sit down to supper and I tell you if	L
you please It wasn't any dinky lunch you juggle on your knees	M
	-
But a real bang up collation that's what mother used to say	I
Of tongue and ham and cold roast beef it took her 'most a day	I
To prepare that supper for us there were jellies red and fine	N
And layer cakes and pound cakes and some cakes of quaint design	N
Oh there 's nothing now can beat them though we've put on style and airs	O
And adopted all the customs that obtain with millionaires	O
We don't have the fun we used to nor the joy we used to know	A
At the old time family parlies in the days of long ago	A
