Glenn Miller - Chattanooga Choo Choo - Sun Valley Serenade, 1941

Hi there, Tex, what you say?

Step aside, partner, it's my day

Bend an ear and listen to my version

Of a really solid Tennessee excursion.

Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

Yes, yes, Track 29!

Boy, you can give me a shine

I 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

Then 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 it rollin'

Whoo, whoo, 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?

Get aboard

(Chattanooga, Chattanooga)

All aboard

Chattanooga, Chattanooga,

Chattanooga Choo Choo,

Won't you choo choo me home?

Chattanooga Choo Choo!
