1941
        - Harry Nilsson
Well in 1941 a happy father had a son

Son lyrics

Oh, I feel sympathy.  Be grateful my son for what you get.
Expression and passion.  Ten days for watching the sunset;
when I was your age
 enough for him

And she came home with a smile
Now in 1961 a happy father had a son
And by 1964 the father walked right out the door
And in '65 the mom and son were still around
But what will happen to the boy
When the circus comes to town?
