|
With her high starched collar and her high topped shoes
|
And her hair piled high upon her head
|
She went to find a jolly hour on the trolley
|
And she found my heart instead
|
|
With my light brown derby and my bright green tie
|
I was quite the lonesomest 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 heart strings
|
For the moment I saw her I fell
|
|
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
|
Thump, thump, thump went the brake
|
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings
|
When she smiled I could feel the car shake
|
|
I tipped my hat, I took a seat
|
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet
|
"Say, what's your name?", I lost my breath
|
She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death
|
|
Oh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
|
Pop, pop, pop went the wheels
|
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings
|
As she started to go then I started to know how it feels
|
When the universe reels
|
|
I tipped my hat, I took a seat
|
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet
|
I asked her name, then lost my breath
|
She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death
|
|
Oh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
|
Pop, pop, pop went the wheels
|
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings
|
As she started to leave I took hold of her sleeve with my hand
|
And as if it were planned
|
She stayed on with me and it was grand just to stand
|
With her hand holding mine to the end of the line
|
|
End of the line
|
The end of the line
|
