the trolley song

Singer:glee cast

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

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

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

clang

clang

clang went the trolley

zing

zing

zing

zing went my heart!
