The Trolley Song

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
 Ding, ding, ding went the bell
 Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
 As we started for Huntington Dell
 Chug, chug, chug went the motor
 Bump, bump, bump went the brake
 Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
 As we glided by Huntington Lake
 The day was bright
 The air was sweet
 The smell of honeysuckle swept me off my feet
 I tried to sing
 But couldn't squeak
 In fact, I felt so good I couldn't even speak
 Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
 Tweet, tweet, tweet went the lark
 Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
 As we got off at Huntington Park
 As we got off at Huntington Park
 ♪
 With my high-starched collar
 And my high-topped 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
 For 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)
 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
 Plop, plop, plop 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 swept her off her feet
 She tried to sing
 But couldn't squeak
 In fact, she loved him so she couldn't even speak
 Ooohhh
 Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
 Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
 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!
 Zing, zing, zing went my heart
