Rumble, rumble, rumble, goes the gloomy 'L' And the street car rattles as well, Motor-trucks wheeze and limousines purr, Everything is noisy - all the world's astir! Bang-whirr, bang-whirr, we'll all join too, The pavement may be dirty, but the sky's clean blue! - John Farrar, 'Roller Skates'.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, goes the gloomy 'L'
And the street car rattles as well,
Motor-trucks wheeze and limousines purr,
Everything is noisy - all the world's astir!
Bang-whirr, bang-whirr, we'll all join too,
The pavement may be dirty, but the sky's clean blue!
