Hello railroad. Is this the railroad?
I want a one-way ticket down to Tennessee.
I'm leaving immediately.
Chattanooga here I come!
Pardon me boy,
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
- Right on track 29.
Boy, you can give me a shine.
I can afford to board the Chattanooga Choo Choo,
I've, I've, 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 that Tennessee is not very far,
Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rolling,
Whoo, whoo! Chattanooga there you are!
There's gonna be a certain party at the station
In, in 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?
Hey there boy, yes, yes, yes,
I'm a comin' back to Tennesee.
Hey there boy, yes, yes, yes,
I want a one-way ticket on the
Chattanooga Choo Choo train.
Hey, pardon me boy, hmm-mmm,
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo Choo Choo?
Right on track 29, my baby, I'm fine.
Boy, you can give me a shine,
Give me a very good shine.

There's gonna be a certain party at the station,
All dressed up in satin and lace.
Oh, what a funny face. I used to call Funny Face.
I used to call her just a 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?
