These are not official lyrics, just what I have heard them as from listening to this song for 25 years. :) ********** streetcar streetcar ain't goin too fast headed for the schoolyard streetcar streetcar comin' in last bang along that track ain't working too hard sittin' on the sandbox pretend I'm in control back and forth across the county ridin' stoppin' in the morning dew to watch the sun come up play a little catch down at the sidin' streetcar streetcar makin' me late takin' me down on the levy streetcar streetcar with your precious freight and your load it must be heavy strainin' every timber as your plungin' through the woods listen to your windows almost breakin' whistlin' down the bottom, then up to Clayton Road gotta stop, pull up, pick up some little old lady streetcar streetcar wasn't you fine when we played so hard streetcar streetcar on down the blind headed for the schoolyard give me that old streetcar and that cinder box of pine where I can climb aboard and be playin' so hard streetcar streetcar wasn't you fine headed for the schoolyard streetcar...comin' so slow headed for the schoolyard southbound...anywhere you go bang along that track ain't working too hard |
