The Trolley Song Letra

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 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



Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer

Plop, plop, plop went the wheels

Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings

As he started to go

Then I knew how it feels

When the universe reels



(Background chorus:)

The day was bright, the air was sweet

The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet

You tried to sing, but couldn't squeak

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 stayed on with me

And it was grand just to stand

With his hand holding mine

To the end of the line...
