With her high -starched collar
and her high -topped shoes
And her hair piled high upon her head
She went to find a jolly hour
on the trolley
And she 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.
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 strings.
When she smiled
I could feel the car shake.
I tipped my hat, I took a seat,
I said I hoped I hadn't
stepped upon her feet.
Say, what's your name?
I lost my breath.
She looked so lovely
that it scared me half to death.
Oh!
Oh, buzz, buzz, buzz with the mother.
Plop, plop, plop with the wheels.
Stop, stop, stop with my heartstrings.
As she started to go,
then I started to know how it feels
when the universe squeals.
I tipped my hat. I took a seat.
I said I hoped I hadn't
stepped upon her feet.
I asked her name, then lost my breath
She looked so lovely
that it scared me half to death
Oh, but, but, but, went the buzzer
La, la, la, went the drill
Stop, stop, stop,
went my heart's scream
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 a hand holding mine
To the end of the line
End of the line
The end of the line
