Trolley Song (rehearsal) - Dave Brubeck Quartet

«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

And as if it were planned

He stayed on with me and it was grand

Just to stand with his hand holding mine

All the way to the end of the line
