The Trolley Song

With my high starched collar and my high topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head
I 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
I started to yen and I counted to ten
And I counted to ten again
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings
For the moment I saw her I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Thump, thump, thump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings
Whn he smiled I could feel the car shak
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
Pop, pop, pop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings
As he started to leave I could hold up a sleeve with my hand
And as though 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
