Susquehanna County - Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight. Give me July again just for tonight. Soften the soil where the frost king has lain. Oh, let me hear one mosquito again. January, so weary of snow drifts and ice; weary of paying the coal trust its price; weary, so weary of frost bitten pie; bring me a slice of Fourth of July. Backward, swing backward, oh seasons of snow, mercury fifteen to twenty below. Turn on the heat from the tropical zone; roast me until I am cooked to the bone. I am so tired of freezing my nose, weary of chilblains and corns on my toes; weary of trying to sleep with cold feet; turn on the heat, mister, turn on the heat. –Ex
