There is another verse, specifically UK as the "tram" referred to is what you guys knowe as a streetcar, although British trams were usually double-deckers.

"Tell me Mister Tram Conductor" said the lady old and frail
"Will the electric current kill me If I stand upon the rail?"
"No Ma'am" said the cheeky tram conductor and to her these words he said
"Not unless you put the other foot on the wire overhead"
