Or an analogy for $$$. wasn't it around this time that someone sold stories about him to the press? *** edit*** actually, thinking about it, it's probably referring to Morris Day.

As for Yellow Day... He uses that phase in Condition of the Heart, I took it in that song to mean a good, positive, happy day.

Big talking White rabbit? Err... Dunno smile

Not an American metaphor but a trolley is something lots of people can jump on just like lots of men can jump on a slut.

Princey makes up his own metaphors. nod

Band members who are more into blow than music.

And the color green'll make ur best friend leave u, it'll make them do the walk

Could be envy or more likely money.

Yellow as in sunshine.

1st line: the white rabbit from alice and wonderland

2nd line: green=jealousy

3rd line: yellow=happy/ non-gender-specific

kidding i have no idea what he's talking about.

This particular part of the song I believe is about Big Chick Huntsberry(big white rabbit) and his leaving the Paisley fold and selling a story(color green - best friend leave u, do the walk) to the National Enquirer.

The Yellow day line refers to "it's all good" and in the end, (sunshine = the afterlife) all will be forgiven.

prince wont have a one night stand because prince knows a girl who has a one night stand is juggling about 17 other men and fucking them all too and he finds it disgusting

green is money and money makes ur friends leave you .. yellow is the color of sunshine and the song is called play in the sunshine

That makes sense. I always thought it was a reference to Morris. The big white rabbit was cocaine, and since The Walk was a Time song, it was a sly dig.

Trolley car is the same analogy as "just like a train" is in When You Were Mine.

I've heard that Morris reference to the lyric before as well and it could be, but considering when Play In The Sunshine was written and the circumstances around Big Chick's departure - as well as "you call them bodyguards, I call them my friends", I lean towards the Huntsberry theory.

Both Morris and Chick had a nose candy problem, so if the lyric is taken that way, maybe it's just a generalization on Prince's part.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
