Ed Ames Trolley Song Lyrics

Trolley Song Lyrics

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 she
found my heart instead

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

Chug, chug, chug went the
motor
Thump, thump, thump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my
heart strings
When she smiled I could feel the car shake

I tipped my
hat, I took a seat
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet
"Say,
what's your name?", I lost my breath
She looked so lovely that it scared me
half to death

Oh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Pop, pop, pop 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

I tipped
my hat, I 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

Oh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Pop, pop, pop 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

End of the line
The end of the line
