The Trolley Song
for Carol Drummond nee Gronlund
(Music and Words by- Pat Drummond)

This funny old trolley's got a squeak in it
from lugging in the damn P.A.
Someone said, "Don't bother putting grease in it
throw that old thing away!"
But the fellow who said it had a few good years
though he had a few wrinkles and a few grey hairs
This trolley and me go back you see
Guess it's time to make a few repairs

Chorus: A little bit of wire and a little bit of glue
A little lick of paint and it will last a year or two
It really is amazing what a little love will do
In a world that's getting old and doesn't care
Ain't it time we made it a few repairs

This funny old planet's got a hole in it
From the cars that we drive each day
Someone said, "We should build a space ship quick
and throw that old thing away!"
but with a little more will and a little more care
we could clean up the oceans and the rivers and the air
This planet and me go back you see
I guess it's time to make a few repairs

Chorus

This funny old marriage has a scratch on it
from the things that we said today
Now people say, "If it don't make you happy quick,
throw that old thing away!"
But with a lot of years of living and four great kids
and the memory of the laughter and the loving that we did
Hey. this marriage and me go back you see
I guess it's time to make a few repairs

Chorus x 2

Turn out the light. I'm home tonight
:) Come here and make a few repairs
