LYRICS

Hi there, Tex, 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 boy, 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 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
Than to have your ham and eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle blowinâ?? 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
Wonâ??t you choo choo me home...!
