A.N.: This is to the great women who have made a positive impact on me. One of whom saw this musical (you'll have to guess what) on Broadway. I don't own the company or this song. I sure wish I did. It's a wonderful song.
Chapter 7: The Trolley Song
The Electric Company was staying in Ocean City, New Jersey for a summer that year. Lisa had planned to meet Hector on the trolley that day with a few of their new friends. When the time came, Hector was nowhere in sight. All Lisa could see were lovesick couples and girls gossiping about their most recent dates. She sighed.
"Lisa, what about you?" a girl asked her.
"Well, '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. 'Cjug, 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 with me, and it was grand; just to stand with his hand holding mine; to the end of the line!"
"Hiya, Lisa!" said Hector, who somehow had managed to sit next to her. She blushed and smiled at him.
