[Verse]
Am7 D7 Ebdim G
He tipped his hat and took a seat
Ddim Bm C7 Bm Ebdim G
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet
Gaug E7 Fdim Am
He asked my name, I held my breath
F#7 Bm7 Bbdim Am Ddim D7
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death
[Verse]
G
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
G D7
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels

As he started to go then I started to know how it feels
Bbdim G6
When the universe reels.
[Verse]
Am7 D7 Ebdim G
The day was bright, the air was sweet
Ddim D6 C7 D6 Ebdim G
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet.
Gaug E Fdim Am
You thought you'd sing but couldn't squeek --
F#7 Bm7 Bbdim Am7 Ddim D7
In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak.
[Verse]
G
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
G D7
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels
G Bm G7 Am Cmaj7
Stop, stop, stop went my heart-strings
Ebdim G C7 G7 Ebdim G6
As he started to leave I took hold of his sleeve with my hand
Ebdim D7 C7 D9
And as if it were planned he stayed on with me
D Bbdim Ebdim B7 C
And it was grand just to stand with his hand holding mine
Bbdim C7 Am7 G
To the end of the line.
[Outro]
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
G Cmaj7 G
Zing, zing, zing went my heart...

[Intro: Judy Garland]
With my high-starched collar and my high-top 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
[Verse 1: Judy Garland & The MGM Studio Chorus]
"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
(Clang, clang, clang)
[Bridge: Judy Garland]
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
[Verse 2: Judy Garland]
"Buzz, buzz, buzz" went the buzzer
"Flop, flop, flop" 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
[Bridge: The MGM Studio Chorus]
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
[Verse 3: Judy Garland & The MGM Studio Chorus]
"Buzz, buzz, buzz" went the buzzer (Clang, clang, clang, clang)
"Flop, flop, flop" went the wheels (Clang, clang, clang, clang)
"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
[Outro: The MGM Studio Chorus]
"Clang, clang, clang" went the trolley
"Clang, clang, clang" went the trolley
"Zing, zing, zing, zing" went my heart
Ah, vroom
