Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
Track 29, boy, you can give me a shine
I can afford to board the 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 and eggs in Carolina

When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar
Then you know the Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in
Gotta keep it rolling
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?
