The Trolley Song lyrics
by Judy Garland
~ALL~
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.
Bump, bump, bump went the brake.
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings as we glided for Huntington Lake.
The day was bright, the air was sweet.
The smell of honeysuckle charmed me off my feet.
I tried to sing, but couldn't squeak.
In fact I felt so good I couldn't even speak.
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer.
Time to all disembark,
Time to fall went my heartstrings as we got off at Huntington Park.
As we got off at Huntington Park.
~Judy~
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 heartstrings.
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 heartstrings.
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.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor.
Plop, plop, plop 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.
~All~
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.
~Judy~
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer.
Plop, plop, plop 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.
