TrolleySongs

(Tune: Polly Wally Doodle)

Oh I went to ride on a PCC

Sing Trolley Wally Doodle all day

Rode from Yeadon to Darby

Sing Trolley Wally Doodle all day

Fare ye well, riding's swell

Sing Trolley Wally Doodle all day

Riding a piece of history

Sing Trolley Wally Doodle all day

(Tune: America)

Oh beautiful bodacious ride

Onboard a pcc

a vintage streamlined trolley car

a part of history

OcTrolleyFest, OcTrolleyFest

We have a chance to ride

And see the sites and have some fun

and do the electric slide

(Tune: I've been working on the railroad)

I've been riding on the trolley

at OcTrolleyFest

I've been learning lots of history

and thinks that it's the best

Can't you see the riders smiling

It's no mystery

The best part of riding on this trolley

Is that the ride is free

At OcTrolleyFest (3x)

The ride is free

At OcTrolleyFest (3x)

The ride is free

(Tune: InlkaDinka Do)

;Dinky dinky do they used to call the 62

Didn't go too far in the little Birney car

Single trucks would roll

up and down the knoll

Dinky dinky do once more

(Tune: I feel pretty)

On the trolley, it's so jolly

Its no folly we're taking a ride

and by golly

Its so nice to be electrified

(Tune Going to Kansas City)

Riding in Darby Borough, on a PCC (2x)

We're riding rails in Darby, riding rails of history

We could take a plane, we could take a car

But with gas so darn expensive we won't get very far

Riding in Darby Borough, on a PCC

We're riding rails in Darby, riding rails of history

(Tune: Happy Trails)

Happy rails to you

WeÂ’re riding once again

Happy rails to you

It's just like way back when

(Tune: Ode to Joy)

When I'm riding on a trolley I'm a part of history

Just like all the people riding for more than a century

Connecting Yeadon and Darby Borough

With Philadelphia's City Hall

Transportation heritage we're celebrating in the fall

(Tune: Love Potion No. 9)

I took my sweetheart down to old Darby

So I could ride upon a PCC

They have a trolley there, oldest you can find

Listen to it rumbling

Love motion on the line

You know the trolley lines are really great

They've been that way since 18-58

At the OcTrolleyFest it didn't cost a dime

Listen to it rumbling...love motion on the line

I climbed up, looked around

and found me a seat

The cream and green color scheme

was really quite neat

I found the whole experience couldn't be beat

I held the rope I rang the bell, it was a treat

I didn't think that I could ride all day

With other riders I was in the way

so I said I thank you, I had a real good time

See you next OcTrolleyFest

Love motion on the line (3X)

(Tune: Deck the Halls)

Come and ride a vintage trolley

Come and celebrate OcTrolleyFest

Mom and dad and your Aunt Polly

Need a little fun and spice and zest

When you're riding on a trolley

All your cares seem far away

From the past and for the future

A relic from the past that works today

(Tune- Alphabet Song)

IABCDEFG like to ride on a PCC

Riding smoothly on the rails

Like a ship that smoothly sails

SEPTA UC
Needs to know we want trolleys

(Tune Tea for Two)

Me and you and you and me

are riding on a PCC Pres-i-dential Conference Committee Car

Though it is old it is good transportation

cheaper than autos across the whole nation

Electric, earth-friendly, streamlined and they're fun

(Tune: Star Spangled Banner)

Oh say what you'll see

Aboard a PCC

As so smoothly you glide On the way up to Yeadon

It's electric and fun

and we're glad that it runs

and we'd like to see more

it's a fun way to travel

Philadelphia broad-gauge

can once more be the rage

and as gas prices soar

it's an answer most sage

and light rail one more

may connect our communities

and the travel of the past

can unite us again.

(Tune: Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah)

Grab your boyfriend or your dolly

Come and ride a

Vintage trolley

it is very entertaining

and it gets you there dry shod if it is raining

(Tune: Waltzing Matilda)

Riding a trolley, riding a trolley

You'll come a riding a trolley with me

And we'll glide and we'll slide on a ride that is electrified

You'll come a riding a trolley with me

An old PCC painted like at PTC

dressed in the colors of silver and green

Rumbled as it rolled

thru historic streets of Darby

You'll come a riding a trolley with me
