[Girl]
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 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, 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,
"Plop, Plop, Plop" 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.

"Clang, Clang, Clang", went the trolley,
"Ding, Ding, Ding", went the bell,

"Zing, Zing, 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, 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,
"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.

[Boy]
With her high starched collar,

and her high topped shoes,
and her hair piled high upon her head,

She went to find a jolly
hour on the trolley
and found my heart instead.

With my light brown derby and my bright green tie,
I 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,
For the moment I saw her I fell.

"Chug, Chug, Chug," went the motor,
"Bump, Bump, Bump", went the brake,

"Thump, Thump, Thump", went my heartstrings,
When she smiled, I could feel the car shake.

I tipped my hat, and took a seat,
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet,

I asked her name, then lost my breath,
She looked so lovely
that it scared me half to death.

"Buzz, Buzz, Buzz", went the buzzer,
"Plop, Plop, Plop" went the wheels,

"Stop, Stop, Stop", went my heart strings,
As she started to go,

then I started to know how it feels,
When the universe reels.

"Clang, Clang, Clang", went the trolley,
"Ding, Ding, Ding", went the bell,

"Zing, Zing, Zing", went my heartstrings,
For the moment I saw her I fell.

"Chug, Chug, Chug," went the motor,
"Bump, Bump, Bump", went the brake,

"Thump, Thump, Thump", went my heartstrings,
When she smiled, I could feel the car shake.

I tipped my hat, and took a seat,
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet,

I asked her name, I held my breath,
She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death.

"Buzz, Buzz, Buzz", went the buzzer,
"Plop, Plop, Plop" went the wheels,

"Stop, Stop, Stop", went my heart strings,
As she started to leave

I took hold of her sleeve with my hand,
And as if it were planned,

She stayed on with me and it was grand,
Just to stand with her hand holding mine,
To the end of the line.
