Hello railroad
Is this the railroad
I want a one-way ticket down to Tennessee
I'm leavin' immediately
Chattanooga here I come
1. Pardon me boy,
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo
Right on track twenty-nine
Boy you can give me a shine
I can't afford
To board a 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
Nothin' could be finer
Than to have your ham-n-eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle blowin' 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
2. 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 Mmmm, Mmmm
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo choo choo?
Right on track twenty nine
My baby, I'm fine
Boy you can 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 (oh what a funny face)
I used to call a-ha 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?
Chattanooga choo-choo
Won't you choo-choo me home
