| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 the line |
