|
|
| Me and you and you and me |
|
|
|
|
| Are riding on a PCC- Pres-i-dential Conference Committee Car |
|
|
(Tune: Alphabet Song)
ABCDEFG I like to ride on a PCC
Riding smoothly on the rails
Like a ship that smoothly sails
S-E-P-T-A uc
Needs to know we want trolleys |
|
| Though it is old it is good transportation |
|
|
| Cheaper than autos across the whole nation |
|
|
|
|
| Electric, earth-friendly, streamlined and they're fun |

(Tune: Frosty the Snowman)
Darby to Yeadon isn't very far
But the ride is so much nicer
When you're in a trolley car
Yeadon to Darby
is also nice they say
But you can't go back to Yeadon 'Till you go out of your way
There used to be a turn out
from Main Street back in the day
From Main to Ninth
and up the hill
On a private right of way
But problems with switches
Ended the Route 62
But the tracks are there and could be restored,
and the service could be too |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(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: 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 |
|
|
|
|
(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 |
|
|
|
|
| Philadelphia broad-gauge |
|
|
|
| can once more be the rage |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| and as gas prices soar |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| its an answer most sage |
|
|
|
|
|

|
(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
in comfort if it's raining |
|
|
| and light rail one more |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| may connect our communities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| and a method from the past |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| can unite us again. |

| (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 silver |
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
