|
With my high-starched collar and my high-top 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 ten then I counted to ten 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 break |
|
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, flop, flop, flop 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. |
|
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. |
