ON A GOOD OLD TROLLEY RIDE
Lyrics: Joseph C. Farrell - Music: Pat Rooney

Various


(Verse)
Sometimes on Sunday, for that is my fun day, 
You'll find me in the park
Watching the spooners and stargazing mooners
Skylarking after dark.
But there's a pleasure, it's one that I treasure
On Sunday afternoon ...
Out with my pearlie, my steady young girlie,
This is the only tune:
(Chorus)
When speeding along on the trolley,
I feel like a big millionaire;
A ride on the trolley is jolly -
Whatever you give up is fare.
The trolley's a hummer in summer
If you've got a girl at your side
To tease in the breeze while you're stealing a squeeze
On a good old five-cent trolley ride.
(Verse)
Some folks are wealthy and I'm only healthy,
But health is wealth to me.
Pity the party who isn't so hearty,
And can't stand jollity.
Keep all your wheeling and automobiling,
That's not the only thing;
When it is sunny, just give me my honey,
And then you'll hear me sing:
(Chorus)
When speeding along on the trolley,
I feel like a big millionaire;
A ride on the trolley is jolly -
Whatever you give up is fare.
The trolley's a hummer in summer
If you've got a girl at your side
To tease in the breeze while you're stealing a squeeze
On a good old five-cent trolley ride.
