The Trolley Song lyrics

The Trolley Song was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and made famous by Judy Garland in the 1944 film musical Meet Me in St. Louis. The song was inspired by a picture of a trolley car in a children’s picture book. The Trolley Song was nominated for the Best Song Oscar at the 1945 Academy awards, but lost to Swinging on a Star from Going My Way. The Trolley Song was ranked #26 by the American Film Institute in 2004 on the 100 Years … 100 Songs list. It has been recorded by Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and many others. The song was a giant single for the Pied Pipers, at the time outselling Judy Garland’s single.

Skip to My Lou lyrics — traditional American dance song

Skip to My Lou is a traditional song, dating back to America’s frontier period. Since musical instruments were frowned upon, the dancers had to create their own music by clapping and singing.

Couples would dance around a lone male who sang — lost my partner, what’ll I do. — At the appropriate point in the lyrics, he would — steal — the partner of a dancing man as he sang — I’ll find another one prettier than you. — The displaced man would take his place in the circle.

— Lou — is apparently a corruption of — loo, — the Scottish word for love.Read More »Skip to My Lou lyrics
