Stompin' Tom Connors - TTC Skidaddler in 1973 at the Horseshoe Tavern

I'm a TTC Skedaddler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

I've been a streetcar 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

I'm a TTC Skedaddler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

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 her like a driver ought to do

I'm a TTC Skedaddler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

.

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

.

I'm a TTC Skedaddler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

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

Kindly make your way along the aisle

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

And I'll try to render service with a smile

I'm a TTC Skedaddler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

I've been a streetcar 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

I'm a TTC Skedaddler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

Get a socket from my big red rattler

Get a socket from my big red rattler
