Lyrics

V. horton / d. darling / m. gabler - rypvoc inc. - ascap

Headed for the station with a pack on my back
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
I pal around with democratic fellas named mac
So take me right back to the track

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - take me right back to the track, jack

We reach the destination but alas! and alack!
We need some conversation to get back in the black
You take a mornin' paper from the top of the stack
And read the situations from the front to the back
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
So put it right back in the rack, jack

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - take me right back to the track, jack

{Nick - piano solo}

I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track
And live the life of riley in a beaten down shack
So when I hear the whistle I can peek through the crack
Watch the train rollin'when it's ballin' the jack
For I just learned the rhythm of the clickety-clack
So take me right back to the track, jack

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - take me right back to the track, jack

{Erik - solo}
Alright jack! whoo whoo
Oi!

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - take me right back to the track, jack

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - take me right back to the track!
