- Part 1:
- 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, And just a trifle to spare.
-
- Part 2:
- 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.
-
- Part 3:
- 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?
- So Chattanooga Choo Choo,
Won't you choo-choo me home?
