Chattanooga Choo Choo

(Mack Gordon - Harry Warren)



Pardon me boy is this the Chattanooga Choo Choo

Track twenty nine boy you can give me a shine

I can't 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 nothin' 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 a rollin'

Ooh, ohh, 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?
