I'm headin' for the station with a pack on my back
So when I hear a whistle I can peep through the crack
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
And live the life of Riley in a beaten-down shack
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
You take a mornin' paper from the top of the stack
And pal around with democratic fellas named Mac
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
And watch the train a runnin' when it's ballin' the jack
You need some compensation to get back in the black
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track
Oh I just love the rhythm of the clickity-clack
And read the situations from the front to the back

You reach your destination but alas and alack!
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickity-clack
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Take me right back to the track, Jack
So take me right back to the shack, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
So put it right back in the rack, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
So take me right back to the track, Jack
