The Trolley Song

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 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, 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.
 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.
