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
