lirik lagu ralph blane - the trolley song
(chorus 1)
[p-ssengers]
clang, clang, clang went the trolley
ding, ding, ding went the bell
zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
as we started for huntington dell
chug, chug, chug went the motor
b-mp, b-mp, b-mp went the brakes
thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
as we glided by huntington lake
the day was bright, the air was sweet
the smell of honeysuckle charmed me off my feet
i had to sing but couldn’t squeak
in fact, i felt so good i couldn’t even speak
buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
time for all to disembark
time to fall went my heartstrings
as we got off at huntington park
as we got off at huntington park
(verse)
[esther]
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 light green tie
he was quite the handsomest of men
i started to yen
so i counted to ten
then i counted to ten again
(chorus 2)
[esther]
clang, clang, clang went the trolley
ding, ding, ding went the bell
zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
from the moment i saw him, i fell
chug, chug, chug went the motor
b-mp, b-mp, b-mp went the brake
thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
when he smiled, i could feel the car shake
[p-ssengers]
clang! clang! clang!
[esther]
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
[conductor]
hiya, johnny!
[esther]
chug, chug, chug went the motor
pop, pop, pop went the wheels
stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
as he started to go
then i started to know
how it feels
when the universe reels
[p-ssengers]
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
[esther]
buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
pop, pop, pop went the wheels
stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings
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
