Trolley Song – Ed Ames – letras

With her high starched collar and her high topped shoesAnd her hair piled high upon her headShe went to find a jolly hour on the trolleyAnd she found my heart insteadWith my light brown derby and my bright green tieI was quite the lonesomest of menI started to yen so I counted to tenThen I counted to ten againClang, clang, clang went the trolleyDing, ding, ding went the bellZing, zing, zing went my heart stringsFor the moment I saw her I fellChug, chug, chug went the motorThump, thump, thump went the brakeThump, thump, thump went my heart stringsWhen she smiled I could feel the car shakeI tipped my hat, I took a seatI said I hoped I hadn’t stepped upon her feet »Say, what’s your name? », I lost my breathShe looked so lovely that it scared me half to deathOh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzerPop, pop, pop went the wheelsStop, stop, stop went my heart stringsAs she started to go then I started to know how it feelsWhen the universe reelsI tipped my hat, I took a seatI said I hoped I hadn’t stepped upon her feetI asked her name, then lost my breathShe looked so lovely that it scared me half to deathOh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzerPop, pop, pop went the wheelsStop, stop, stop went my heart stringsAs she started to leave I took hold of her sleeve with my handAnd as if it were plannedShe stayed on with me and it was grand just to standWith her hand holding mine to the end of the lineEnd of the lineThe end of the line
