American Old Time Song Lyrics: 14 Riding On The Cable Cars
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 14
RIDING ON THE CABLE CARS.
Tune- "Climbing Up the Golden Stairs."
Come hurry to the wicket,
And get a first class ticket,
Riding on the cable cars;
If you want to cut a dash,
Just go and take your "mash"
Riding on the cable cars.
Chorus.
Then see them jump the gutter,
And go and tell your ma,
That it is just "too utter,"
Riding on the cable cars.
The heat is most intense,
To stand up you pay five cents,
Riding on the cable cars;
When some one treads on your corn,
You wish you'd ne'er been born,
Riding on the cable cars.-Chorus.
You'll meet some politician,
On a vital business mission,
Riding on the cable cars;
He carries his division,
And he swears by the revision,
Riding on the cable cars.-Chorus.
A dudish-looking "masher,"
Is leaning 'gainst the dasher,
Riding on the cable cars;
He talks about base ball,
And he lives upon his "gaul,"
Riding on the cable cars.-Chorus.
A young girl and her "mash,"
Are acting very rash,
Riding on the cable cars;
They're indulging in flirtation,
And sometimes in osculation,
Riding on the cable cars.-Chorus.
