Lyrics

(Hi there tex, what you say?)

Step aside partner, it's my day
Bend an ear, and listen to my version
Of a really solid tennessee excursion
Pardon me boy, is that the chattanooga choo choo?
Track 29
Hey you can give me a shine
I can afford to board chattanooga choo choo
I've got my fare
And just a trifle to spare

You leave the pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four
You read a magazine and then you're in baltimore
Dinner in the diner
Nothing could be finer
And then to have your ham and eggs in carolina
When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar
Then you know that tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in
Gotta keep it rollin'
Woo-woo chattanooga there you are

There's gonna be
A certain party at the station
Satin and lace
I used to call "funny face"
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)

She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
So chattanooga choo choo
Won't you choo choo me home
(Chattanooga chattanooga)
Get aboard
(Chattanooga chattanooga)

Chattanooga choo choo
Won't you choo-choo me home
