You need some compensation to get back in the black
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickity-clack
You take a mornin' paper from the top of the stack
So take me right back to the track, Jack
Songwriters: Denver Darling, Milton Gabler, Vaughn Horton
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
And watch the train a runnin' when it's ballin' the jack
Take me right back to the track, Jack
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
I'm headin' for the station with a pack on my back

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
So when I hear a whistle I can peep through the crack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
And pal around with democratic fellas named Mac
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
So put it right back in the rack, Jack
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
And live the life of Riley in a beaten-down shack
Take me right back to the track, Jack
I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track
You reach your destination but alas and alack!
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
So take me right back to the shack, Jack
And read the situations from the front to the back
Oh I just love the rhythm of the clickity-clack
