I remember once, back in Indiana,
when things started gettin' strange,
they's a big discussion about the cause,
by the boys at the county Grange.

Strange things was happenin' to ever'one,
none of it really a crime.
But the general feelin' was it all was caused
by your Daylight Savin's Time.

One ol' boy said that all of 'is cows,
got picky about what they ate.
Another said his hens stopped layin'
'cause bedtime come too late.

The hands missed breakfast because it was served
a long time before they woke.
The roosters crowed an hour before sunup,
and the pigs all thought it's a joke.

The kids all had to get up in the dark,
an' you know that weren't no fun.
They was hundreds of things folks had to do,
and do 'em without no sun.

Yeah, strange things happened to ever'one,
and it made no reason or rhyme.
But the general feelin' was it all was caused
by your Daylight Savin's Time.
