(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 leave
I took hold of his sleeve
With my hand
And as if it were planned
He stay on with me
-ensemble-
And it was grand just to stand
With his hand holding mine
Till the end of the line
