The Trolley Song Lyrics - Inside Nitty Gritty - Barney Wilen

"Clang, clang, clang" went the trolley 

"Ding, ding, ding" went the bell 

"Zing, zing, zing" went my heartstrings 

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 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 

"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
