The Trolley Song
With my high starched-collar, and my high-topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head
She went to find 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
She started to yearn, so she counted to ten, then she counted to ten again
"Clang, clang, clang", went the trolley
"Ding, ding, ding", went the bell
"Zing, zing, zing", went my heartstrings
For 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
"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
'Til the end of the line
"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
Through the end of the line
And my hair piled high upon my head
She went to find 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
She started to yearn, so she counted to ten, then she counted to ten again
"Clang, clang, clang", went the trolley
"Ding, ding, ding", went the bell
"Zing, zing, zing", went my heartstrings
For 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
"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
'Til the end of the line
"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
Through the end of the line
