|
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 hats 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 |
|
The day was bright, the air was sweet |
|
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet |
|
You tried to sing but couldn't speak |
|
In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak |
|
Buzz, buzz, buzz, went the buzzer |
|
Flop, flop, flop, 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 |
|
Clang, clang, clang, went the trolley |
|
Clang, clang, clang, went the trolley |
|
Zing, zing, zing, went my heart |
