THE TROLLEY SONG<\/p>
Songwriters: Ralph Blane \/ Hugh Martin<\/p>
With my high starched collar
And my high topped shoes
And my hair
Piled high upon my head<\/p>
I went to lose a jolly
Hour on the Trolley
And lost my heart instead<\/p>
With his light brown derby
And his bright green tie
He was quite
The handsomest of men<\/p>
I started to yen
So I counted to ten
Then I counted to ten again<\/p>
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<\/p>
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<\/p>
He tipped his hat
And took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn't
Stepped upon my feet<\/p>
He asked my name
I held my breath
I couldn't speak because
He scared me half to death<\/p>
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings<\/p>
As he started to go
Then I started to know
How it feels
When the universe reels<\/p>
The day was bright
The air was sweet
The smell of honeysuckle
Charmed you off your feet<\/p>
You tried to sing
But couldn't squeak
In fact, you loved him
So you couldn't even speak<\/p>
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings<\/p>
As he started to leave
I took hold of his sleeve
With my hand
And as if it were planned<\/p>
He stay on with me
And it was grand just to stand
With his hand holding mine
Till the end of the line<\/p>
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Zing, zing, zing went my heart<\/p>
<\/p>
