Trolley Song
Clang clan clang went the trolley; Ding ding ding went the bell, Zing zing zing went my heart strings, for the momentI saw him I fell
Buzz buzz buzz went the buzzer, plop plop plop went the wheels, Stop stop stop
Went my hart strings, as he/she started to leave I took hold of his sleeve with my hand, and as if it were planned
He stayed onwith me and it was grand just to stand with his hand holdking mine, to the end of the line
Ding ding ding ding

If I'm never successful, it won't be distressful cuz I don't care.
Singing In The Rain
I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds, so dark up above, the sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love.
Let the stormy clouds chase, evry-one from the place, Come on with the rain,I've a smile on my face,
I'll walk down the lane, with a happy refrain, And singin' just singin in the rain

That's Entertainment
The clown with his pants falling down or the dance, that's the thrill of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean, that's entertainment
The dame, who is known as the flame, of a king of an underworld ring
He's an ape. who won't let her escape, that's entertainment
It might be a fight like you see on the screen, A swain getting slain for the love of a queen,
Some great Shakespearean scene where a ghost nd a prince meet
And everyone ends in mincemeat. The gag may be waving the flag
Thagt began with a Mister Cohan, hip hurray, the American way
The world is a stage, the stage in a world of entertainment
