[Girl:] With my high starched collar
and my hightopped 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.
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 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.

[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 that lonesomest 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 her I fell.
Chug, chug, chug
went the motor,
bump, bump, bump
went the brake,
Thump, thump, thump
went my heart strings,
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 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.
