Chattanooga Songtext
von The Swingfield Big Band

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
(Can you 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, nothing could be finer
(Then 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 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

Chattanooga
Chattanooga
Get aboard
Chattanooga
Chattanooga
All aboard
Chattanooga Choo Choo
Won't you choo choo me home
Chattanooga Choo Choo
