Текст пісні
With my high-starched collar and my high-top shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head
I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley
And lost my heart instead
In 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! went my heartstrings
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 heartstrings
When he smiled, I could feel the car shake
He tipped his hat, then took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet
He asked my name, I held my breath
I could not speak because he scared me half to death
Buzz went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
Stop, please stop, went my heartstrings
As he started to go, then I started to know how it feels
When the universe reels
Stop! went my heartstrings
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
