Chattanooga Choo Choo

Hello railroad, is this the railroad?

I want a one way ticket down to Tennessee

I'm leaving immediately, Chattanooga, here I come

Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga choo choo?

Right on track 29, boy, you can give me a shine

I can afford to board the Chattanooga choo choo

I've, I've, 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

Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rolling

Whoo, whoo, Chattanooga, there you are

There's gonna be a certain party at the station

In, in 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?

Hey, there, boy, yes, yes, yes

I'm a comin' back to Tennessee

Hey, there, boy, yes, yes, yes

I want a one way ticket on the

Chattanooga choo choo train

Hey, pardon me, boy

Is that the Chattanooga choo choo choo choo?

Right on track 29, my baby, I'm fine

Boy, you can give me a shine

Give me a very good shine

There's gonna be a certain party at the station

All dressed up in satin and lace, oh, what a funny face

(I used to call funny face)

I used to call her just a 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!?
