"Chattanooga Choo Choo" lyrics

Pardon me sir
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo
Track 29
Well, you can give me a shine
I can afford
To board the Chattanooga Choo Choo
Cause I've got my fare
And just a trifle to spare

You leave the Pennsylvania station bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine then you leave Baltimore
Dinner in the diner
Nothing can be finer
Bound to have your ham and eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle eight to the bar
Then you know Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in
Gotta keep it rolling
Whoa whoa 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

Dinner in the diner
Nothing could be finer
Bound 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
Come on shovel all the coal in
You gotta keep it rolling
Whoa whoa Chattanooga there you are

There's gonna be as certain party at the station
Dressed in satin and lace
I used to call funny face
And she's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chattanooga Choo Choo
Won't you choo choo me home
Won't you choo choo me home
Won't you choo choo me home
