The Trolley Song

Lyrics

[Intro: Judy Garland] 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 [Verse 1: Judy Garland & The MGM Studio Chorus] "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 (Clang, clang, clang) [Bridge: Judy Garland] 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 [Verse 2: Judy Garland] "Chug, chug, chug" went the motor "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 [Bridge: The MGM Studio Chorus] 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 [Verse 3: Judy Garland & The MGM Studio Chorus] "Buzz, buzz, buzz" went the buzzer (Clang, clang, clang, clang) "Flop, flop, flop" went the wheels (Clang, clang, clang, clang) "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 [Outro: The MGM Studio Chorus] "Clang, clang, clang" went the trolley "Clang, clang, clang" went the trolley "Zing, zing, zing, zing" went my heart Ah, vroom
