TTC Skidaddler

I'm a TTC Skidaddler yeah to sockit to my big red rattler-

Ya to sockit to my big red rattler

I've been a streetcar driver now about eleven years

& I know the old Toronto city well

There's a whole lotta people who wait along the track

For the signal from my clangin trolley bell...

Chorus:

Put the pole upon the wire now and open up the switch-

It's time to get old rattler sparkin through.

She's red around the bottom and she's yellow on the top

And I drive er' like a driver oughta do...

Chorus:

I love my little wife at home I love my couple kids

They often take the trolley to the park-

They know their daddy's drivin the people here and there,

But I'll be back again to pick them up at dark.

Chorus:

Don't forget your ticket when I open up the door-

Kindly make your way along the aisle

I'll drive ya down to work and I'll safely bring ya back

And I'll try to render service with a smile

Chorus:

I'm a TTC skidaddler...

I been a street car driver now about eleven years

And I know the old Toronto city well

There's a whole lot of people who wait along the track.

For the signal from my clangin trolley bell.

Chorus:

Ya ta sockit to my big red rattler
