Lyrics Jo Stafford

Jo Stafford

The Trolley Song

With my high starched collar and my high topped Shoes

And my hair piled high upon my head

She went to find the jolly hour on the trolley

And lost her heart instead

With his light brown derby and his bright green tie

He was quite the handsomest of men

She started to yen so she counted to ten

Then she counted to ten again

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley

Ding, ding, ding, ding went the bell

Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings

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 heart strings

When he smiled, I could feel the car shake

He tipped his had and took a seat

He said he hoped he didn’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 where planned, he stayed on with me

And it was grand just to stand with his hand holding

mine

To the end of the line

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 where planned, he stayed on with me

And it was grand just to stand with his hand holding

mine

To the end of the line
