Lyrics

Chattanooga choo-choo

Hey there, pal, whatcha say?
Step aside partner, it's my day
Bend an ear and listen to my version
(Of a really solid, tennessee excursion)
Pardon me boys, is that the chattanooga choo choo?
(Yes yes) track 29!
Boy you can give me a shine
(Can you afford to board, the chattanooga choo choo?)
I've got my fare
And just a trifle to spare
You leave the pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in baltimore
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer
(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
Shuffle all the coal in
Gotta keep it rollin'
(Whoo whoo chattanooga there you are)
There's gonna be, a certain party at the station
Satin and lace
I used to call funny face
She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
(So chattanooga choo choo)
Won't you choo choo me home
Get aboard..
All aboard..
Chattanooga choo choo
Wont you choo choo me home
