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
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 stayed on with me
And it was grand
Just to stand

With his hand holding mine
To the end of the line
