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 Tenesse excursion

Pardon me, boy

Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?

Track twenty-nine

Boy, you can gimme a shine

Can you afford

To board a Chattanooga choo choo

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

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

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?

Chattanooga choo choo

Won't you choo-choo me home?
