Judy Garland - The Trolley Song lyrics

Your rating:
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.
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 heartstrings,
From the moment I saw him I fell.

Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Bump, bump, bump went the break,
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings,
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,
Flop, flop, flop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings,
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 honeysuckle charmed you off your feet,
You tried to sing but couldn't sqeak,
In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak.

Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Flop, flop, flop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, 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
