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   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      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   Charmed you off your feet      You tried to sing   But couldn't squeak   In fact, you loved him   So you couldn't even speak      Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer   Plop, plop, plop 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 stay on with me   And it was grand just to stand   With his hand holding mine   Till the end of the line      Clang, clang, clang went the trolley   Zing, zing, zing went my heart
