 <\/p>\n

\n
With my high starched-collar and my high-topped shoes<\/span>
And my hair piled high upon my head<\/span>
I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley<\/span>
And lost my heart instead.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With his light brown derby and his bright green tie<\/span>
He was quite the handsomest of men<\/span>
I started to yen so I counted to ten <\/span>
Then I counted to ten again.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley<\/span>
Ding, ding, ding went the bell<\/span>
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings<\/span>
From the moment I saw him I fell.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Chug, chug, chug went the motor<\/span>
Bump, bump, bump went the brake<\/span>
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings<\/span>
When he smiled I could feel the car shake<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He tipped his hat, and took a seat<\/span>
He said he hoped he hadn’t stepped upon my feet<\/span>
He asked my name, I held my breath<\/span>
I couldn’t speak because he scared me half to death.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer<\/span>
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels<\/span>
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings<\/span>
As he started to go then I started to know how it feels <\/span>When the universe reels.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The day was bright, the air was sweet<\/span>
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet<\/span>
You tried to sing, but couldn’t squeak<\/span>
In fact you loved him so you couldn’t even speak.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer<\/span>
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels<\/span>
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings<\/span>
As he started to leave<\/span>
I took hold of his sleeve with my hand<\/span>
And as if it were planned<\/span>
He stayed on with me and it was grand just to stand <\/span>with his hand holding mine to the end of the line.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Clang clang clang went the trolley.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
