The Trolley Train to Nowhere, I don’t recommend
Why sign up for a trip when it has no end?
At ten cents a ride the price is so cheap
The opportunity cost? I’d say rather steep
Once you take up your seat it’s there you’ll reside
I don’t know why it’s such a popular ride
Patchly, the driver, as peculiar as can be
Then again, to drive that trolley you’d really have to be
You can walk to the back and choose a seat wherever
Be sure to get comfortable, the next stop is never
And if you lean in near Patchly as you deposit your dime
He’ll mumble four words: “we’re making great time”
