Hello railroad?
Is this the railroad?
I want a one way ticket down to Tennessee
I'm leavin' immediately
Chattanooga here I come
Pardon me boy, it that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
Right on track Twenty-nine, Boy you can gimme a shine
I can't afford to board the Chattanooga Choo Choo
I've, I've, I've got my fare, and just a trifle to spare
You'll 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
Than to have your ham an' 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
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 cho cho 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 Chattannoga choo choo train
Hey, pardon me boy? Mmh, mmh
Is that the Chattannoga Choo Choo Choo Choo?
Right on track Twenty-nine?
My, baby, I'm fine
Boy you can gimme a shine, gimme 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 a-ha just funny face
She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chattanooga Choo Choo
Won't you cho cho me home?
