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 knew how it feels   When the universe reels      (Background 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!      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 stayed on with me   And it was grand just to stand   With his hand holding mine   To the end of the line...
