Chattanooga Choo Choo lyrics

[Intro]
(Hi there, Tex, what you say?)
Step aside, partner, it's my day
Bend an ear and listen to my version
(Of a really solid Tennessee excursion)

[Verse 1]
Pardon me, boy
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?
(Yes, yes, track twenty-nine)
Boy, you can give me a shine

[Verse 2]
(Can you afford
To board the Chattanooga choo choo?)
I got my fare
(And just a trifle to spare)

[Bridge]
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 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)
[Verse 3]
There's gonna be
A certain party at the station
(Satin and lace)
I used to call "Funny Face"

[Verse 4]
She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
(So, Chattanooga choo choo)
Won't you choo-choo me home?

[Outro]
(Chattanooga, Chattanooga)
Get on board
(Chattanooga, Chattanooga)
All aboard
(Chattanooga, Chattanooga)
(Chattanooga choo choo)
Won't you choo-choo me home?
(Chattanooga choo choo)
