Lyrics:Ralph Blane/Hugh Martin Music:Ralph Blane/Hugh Martin | |
With my high starched-collar and my high-topped 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 heart strings, from the moment I saw him I fell. | |
Chug, chug, chug went the motor, bump, bump, bump went the brake, | |
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings, 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. | |
Chug, chug, chug went the motor, pop, pop, pop went the wheels, | |
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings, | |
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 squeak, in fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak. | |
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer, plop, plop, plop went the wheels, | |
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings, | |
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. |
