The Trolley Song
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
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
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
When the trolley
When the bell
When 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
To the end of the line
A Canção do Bonde
Clang, clang, clang fez o bonde
Ding, ding, ding soou o sino
Zing, zing, zing foram as cordas do meu coração
Desde o momento em que o vi, me apaixonei
Chug, chug, chug foi o motor
Bump, bump, bump foi o freio
Thump, thump, thump foram as cordas do meu coração
Quando ele sorriu, senti o carro tremer
Ele tirou o chapéu
E se sentou
Disse que esperava
Não ter pisado no meu pé
Ele perguntou meu nome
Eu segurei a respiração
Não consegui falar
Porque ele me deixou apavorada
Buzz, buzz, buzz soou o sinal
Plop, plop, plop foram as rodas
Stop, stop, stop foram as cordas do meu coração
Quando ele começou a ir
Então comecei a entender como é
Quando o universo gira
Quando o bonde
Quando o sino
Quando as cordas do meu coração
Desde o momento em que o vi, me apaixonei
Chug, chug, chug foi o motor
Bump, bump, bump foi o freio
Thump, thump, thump foram as cordas do meu coração
Quando ele sorriu, senti o carro tremer
Ele tirou o chapéu
E se sentou
Disse que esperava
Não ter pisado no meu pé
Ele perguntou meu nome
Eu segurei a respiração
Não consegui falar
Porque ele me deixou apavorada
Buzz, buzz, buzz soou o sinal
Plop, plop, plop foram as rodas
Stop, stop, stop foram as cordas do meu coração
Quando ele começou a sair
Eu segurei a manga da camisa dele com a minha mão
E como se fosse planejado
Ele ficou comigo
E foi incrível
Só de ficar com a mão dele segurando a minha
Até o final da linha
