Good heavens... A breath from a previous civilization... How I miss it -- Despite never seeing more than seconds from its end.

A very American song for a British music hall revival. My research says the song is from 1938, which is consistent with the lyrics.

Yeah, I came to reminisce in the nostalgia of the melancholy of my youth. Not giggle!
