Ya want to know what a trolley is, Pete, watch Mee Me In St. Louis and watch Judy Garland singing the Trolley Song. Trolleys were like a railroad car on a track and ran on electricity from an overhead power line. Most major (and even smaller) cities had trolley lines through town. The tracks were like a narrow gauge train track. More recently, they've built buses that have the general appearance of the old turn of the century trolley cars, but run on wheels, like any other bus. That's what they have in the town where I'll be singing. They'll be used to transport people from one site to another, with entertainment, crafts and food booths scattered throughout the town. Lordship, where they're having the Trolley Festival is on the north shore of Long Island Sound and it's quite beautiful there. It should be great fun.

Now maybe we can talk about knickers. Over here, kids wore knickers when I was a kid... short (usually corduroy) pants that came down just below the kneed, which were worn with high boots that came most of the way up the calf. The prestigious boots were the ones that had a leather pouch on the side that came with a jack knife in the pouch.
My friend Janie over your way had to do some explaining for the lines
"It's a long way from knickers and high-cut boots
To a part down the middle and a brand new suit"
from Old Blue Suit.

Over your way it sounds downright kinky.
