The Trolley Song

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
The day was bright  the air was sweet
The smell of honeysuckle charmed off my feet
I tried to sing  but couldn't  squeaks
In fact  i loved you so i couldn't even speak
Buzz buzz buzz went the buzzer
Time to all disembark
Time to fall went my heartstrings
As we got off at huntington park
As we got off at huntington park
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 the
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
Chug chug chug went the motor
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 off your feet
You tried to sing  but couldn't squeaks
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
To the end of the line
