Crosstown Trolley

Lyrics

You take the third street bus and the crosstown trolley
 Transfer twice, and then by gully, you walk six blocks
 Before you get to my house
 And then I climb the stair, give the bell a jingle
 See you there, I'm all a-tingle
 (I know it won't be long before we kiss)
 I can't afford a taxi, I haven't got a car
 But I would ride a hobbyhorse just to get to where you are
 (Why don't you take that trip on crosstown trolley?)
 (Get that ring and in this folly)
 Then we could settle down to tea and cool
 No more crosstown trolley rides to get to you
 Step back in the car, please
 I hope I get a seat this time
 14 cents?
 Hey buddy, what time does the Flow Show begin?
 Train man, let's get off at the Palladium
 Ms. Brown's there (oh, good)
 Put on a round of wheels
 Please punish my transfer
 You take the third street bus and the crosstown trolley
 Transfer twice, and then by gully, you walk six blocks
 Before you get to my house
 And then you climb the stair, give the bell a jingle
 When you're there, I'm all a tingle
 I know it won't be long before we kiss
 They can't afford a taxi, and they haven't got a car
 But I would gladly ride a broom just to get to where you are
 Why don't you take that trip on crosstown trolley?
 Preacher man could end this folly
 Then we could settle down to tea and cool
 There'll be no more crosstown trolley rides
 No more looking around for brides
 No more crosstown trolley rides for me and you
 All out into the line
