Verse 1
D 
We know that many an epic
has been written in a dusty garret,
but we'll guarantee that this is the first big
-time musical arrangement
ever made in the bathtub.
That's the only space
Sergeant Jerry Gray could find
to set up his arranging desk
G 
to produce the hot and cold running rhythm of the Trolley Song.

Say love me with a buzzer,
say peace me with a wheel,
Ab 
say penny with my heart's greed.
F#m 
Said she started to    leave,
I could hold up her sleeve
F#m 
saying please.
Ab 
Won't you stay, Sibu Plain?
D 
It was my lucky day.
She said, we might maybe,
so I found my romance
