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 heart-strings
For the moment I saw him I fell
Chug, chug, chug, went the motor
Bump, bump, bump, went the brake
Thump, thump, thump, went my heart strings
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 heart strings
As he started to go,
Then I started to know how it feels
When the universe reels

Buzz, buzz, buzz, went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop, went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop, went my heart strings
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
