The Trolley Song - Remastered
With her high-starched collar and her high-top shoes
And her hair piled high upon her head
She went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley and found my heart instead
With my light brown derby and my bright green tie
I was quite the handsomest of men
I started to yen so I counted to ten
Then I counted to ten again
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment I saw her I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump went the break
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
When he smiled I could feel the car shake
I tipped my hat and took a seat
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet
I asked her name, then lost my breath
She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Flop, flop, flop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
As she started to go then I started to know
How it feels
When the universe reels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
As he started to leave
I took hold of his sleeve with my hand
And as if it were planned
She stayed on with me
And it was grand just to stand
With her hand holding mine
To the end of the line
And her hair piled high upon her head
She went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley and found my heart instead
With my light brown derby and my bright green tie
I was quite the handsomest of men
I started to yen so I counted to ten
Then I counted to ten again
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment I saw her I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump went the break
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
When he smiled I could feel the car shake
I tipped my hat and took a seat
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet
I asked her name, then lost my breath
She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Flop, flop, flop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
As she started to go then I started to know
How it feels
When the universe reels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
As he started to leave
I took hold of his sleeve with my hand
And as if it were planned
She stayed on with me
And it was grand just to stand
With her hand holding mine
To the end of the line
