The Trolley Song

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 earn so I counted to ten Then I counted to ten again [Verse] 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 As hе smiled, I could feel the car shake [Pre-Chorus] Hе 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 [Chorus] 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 our line [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 our line
