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. "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 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. |
