Lyrics
Electric Road
By Jonathan Mirin and Carrie Ferguson
Hey hey look at them go
they’re gonna make an electric road
hey hey what do you know
trolley’s gonna carry all of our loads
put on the milk and the mail
put on the apples and head down the trail
it’s a beautiful day
we don’t have to walk we can ride the whole way!
hey hey when we grow old
will we still ride the electric road
hey hey what do you know
don’t need a car to go faster than slow
get your family and friends
we’ve got people to see and letters to send
get on the trolley go to town
hear the trolley makin’ it’s sound
ding ding, the conductor rings
click clack, roll down the track
ding ding, the conductor rings
click clack, roll down the track
ding ding, the conductor rings
click clack, roll down the track
ding ding, the conductor rings
click clack, roll down the track
get your family and friends
we’ve got people to see and letters to send
get on the trolley go to town
hear the trolley makin’ it’s sound
ding ding, the conductor rings
click clack, roll down the track
ding ding, the conductor rings
click clack, roll down the track
(“everybody now!”)
ding ding, the conductor rings
click clack, roll down the track
(“one more time!”)
ding ding, the conductor rings
click clack, roll down the track
put on the milk and the mail
put on the apples and head down the trail
it’s a beautiful day
we don’t have to walk we can ride the whole way!
hey hey when we grow old
will we still ride the electric road
hey hey what do you know
don’t need a car to go faster than slow
hey hey when we grow old
will we still ride the electric road
hey hey when we grow old
will we still ride the electric road
