I may be wrong, but I assumed the line referred to a whore-y woman (trolley car =lots of passengers) who is juggling multiple lovers.

It's been suggested in the past that this might be a metaphorical reference to a prostitute or a woman who has many lovers. Consequently, because he does not care for one night stands in these circumstances,he ends up playing his tamborine (masturbating) instead.

Edit - as suggested above too smile!!

According to the song, tamborines are both penises and vaginas, how odd

"What's it like inside your tamborine" (vagina)
"Stay at home and play my tamborine" (his penis, unless he's admitting to having a vagina, which explains A LOT)

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't he say "Play around my baby's tamborine" so it would still mean vagina.

Where's AB the vagina expert.

I suspect 'tamborine' is Prince's generic euphemism for genitalia - covering all bases.
