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 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
The day was bright
The air was sweet
The smell of
Honysuckle charmed
Me off my feet
I tried to
Sing...when couldn't
Squeaked!
In fact, I loved
Him so, I
Couldn't even speak
''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... !
