boy you can gimme a shine.

    I can afford to board the Chatanooga Choo Choo,

    I've got my fare,

    and just a trifle to spare.

    read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore.

    Dinner in the diner,

    nothing could be finer,

    than to have your ham 'n' eggs in Carolina.

    When you hear the whisle blowin' eight to the bar,

    then you know that Tennesee is not very far.

    Shovel all the coal in,

    gotta keep it rollin',

    woo, woo, Chatanooga 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 Chatanooga Choo Choo,

    won't you choo choo me home. Woo! Woo!
