With her
high -starched collar
and her high -topped shoes
and her hair pile high upon her head,
she went to find a jolly hour on a trolley
and found my heart instead.
With my light brown derby
and my bright green tie,
I was quite the lonesomest of men.
I started to yin, so I counted to ten,
then I counted to ten again,
and yes 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 her I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor, bump, bump, bump went the brake,
thump, thump, thump went my heart string,
and when she smiled
I could feel the car shake.
I tipped my hat and took a seat,
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet.
I asked her name,
then lost my breath,
she was so lovely
that it scared me half to death.
Buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
plop, plop, plop went the wheels.
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings
as she started to leave.
I took hold of her sleeve with my hand,
and as if it were planned,
She stayed on with me
and it was grand just to stand
With her hand holding mine
to the end of the line
I took my hat and took a seat
I said I hoped I hadn't
stepped upon her feet
I asked her name then lost my breath
She was so lovely
that it scared me after death
Buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
plop, plop went the wheels,
Stopped when my heart stings,
and she started to leave,
I took hold of her sleeve with my hand,
And as if it were planned,
she stayed on with me,
And it was grand just
to stand with her hand
An d hold it right
to the end of the line,
to the end of the line,
to the end of the line.
