The Trolley Song
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
As we started for Huntington dell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
As we glided for Huntington lake
The day was bright,
The air was sweet
The smell of honeysuckle
Charmed me off my feet
I tried to sing but couldn't squeak
In fact, I felt so good
I couldn't even speak
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Time to all disembark
Time to fall went my heartstrings
As we got off at Huntington park
As we got off at Huntington park
With my high-starched collar
And my high-topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head
I went to lose a jolly
Hour on the trolley
And lost my heart instead
With his light brown derby
And his bright green tie
He was quite the handsomest of men
I started to yen so I counted to 10
Then I counted to 10 again
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment I saw him, I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
When he smiled, I could feel the car shake
He tipped his hat and took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet
He asked my name I held my breath
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
As he started to go
Then I started to know how it feels
When the universe reels
The day was bright the air was sweet
The smell of honeysuckle
Charmed you off your feet
You tried to sing but couldn't squeak
In fact, you loved him so
You couldn't even speak
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
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
He stayed on with me
And it was grand Just to stand
With his hand holding mine
To the end of the line
End of the line
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
As we started for Huntington dell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
As we glided for Huntington lake
The day was bright,
The air was sweet
The smell of honeysuckle
Charmed me off my feet
I tried to sing but couldn't squeak
In fact, I felt so good
I couldn't even speak
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Time to all disembark
Time to fall went my heartstrings
As we got off at Huntington park
As we got off at Huntington park
With my high-starched collar
And my high-topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head
I went to lose a jolly
Hour on the trolley
And lost my heart instead
With his light brown derby
And his bright green tie
He was quite the handsomest of men
I started to yen so I counted to 10
Then I counted to 10 again
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment I saw him, I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
When he smiled, I could feel the car shake
He tipped his hat and took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet
He asked my name I held my breath
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
As he started to go

Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings

I took hold of his sleeve with my hand
And as if it were planned
He stayed on with me
And it was grand Just to stand
With his hand holding mine
To the end of the line
End of the line
