Lyrics

Chorus
But things have really changed a lot
Since eighteen sixty-one
And many heroes since that time
Have lived in Washington
Their honor no one can attack
And Roosevelt is a crackerjack
But they could point to Lincoln
Back in eighteen sixty-one

Chorus
But things have really changed a lot
Since eighteen sixty-one
The farces they played then
Had just the purest kind of fun
No lines that made the critics scoff
No plays that should be taken off
They had no girls with whooping cough
In eighteen sixty-one

Chorus
But things have really changed a lot
Since eighteen sixty-one
They had no baseball pitchers then
Like Christy Mathewson
No men with speed like Cobb and Chase
Or Lajoie at second base
No Wagner’s bat to set the pace
In eighteen sixty-one
