(Hi there Tex, what'd you say?) Step aside partner, it's my day Bend an ear, and listen to my version Of a really solid Tennessee excursion Pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo? (Yes, Yes, Track 29) Hey would you give me a shine? (Can you afford to board Chattanooga Choo-Choo?) I got my fare And just a trifle to spare You leave the Pennsylvania Station by a quarter to four You read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore Dinner in a diner Nothing could be finer And then to have a hammer in the Carolina Then you hear the whistle blowing into the bar
Then you now the Tennessee is not very far Shove all the coal in Gotta keep a rollin' Woo-woo Chattanooga there you are There's gonna be A certain party at the station Satin and Lace (ooh) I used to call funny face (doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo) She's gonna cry Until I promise to never ever roll So Chattanooga choo-choo Won't you choo choo me home (Chattanooga Chattanooga) Get aboard (Chattanooga Chattanooga) Chattanooga choo choo Won't you choo-choo me home Chattanooga choo choo Let's dance
