The Chattanooga Choo Choo
(Mack Gordon / Harry Warren)


Wooo-Wooo  Wooo-Wooo
Wooo-Wooo  Wooo-Wooo

Ah!  Pardon me, boy
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?
Track twenty-nine
Boy, you can gimme a shine
I can afford
To board a Chattanooga choo choo
I've got my fare
What 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 on 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'
Come on Chattanooga there you are

[Bette's scatting]

There's gonna be
A certain party at the station
I'll be in satin and lace
Used to call me "funny face"
Well I'm gonna cry
I promise that I'll never roam
But Chattanooga choo choo
Won't you choo-choo me home?
