Lyrics The Manhattan Transfer – Choo Choo Ch’boogie

I’m headin’ for the station with a pack on my back
I’m tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack

Choo-choo choo-choo ch-boogie
Woo-woo woo-woo ch-boogie
Choo-choo choo-choo ch-boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

You reach your destination but alas and alack
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take a mornin’ paper from the top of the stack
And read the situation from the front to the back
The only job that’s open needs a man with a knack
So, put it right back in the rack, Jack

Choo-choo choo-choo ch-boogie
Woo-woo woo-woo ch-boogie
Choo-choo choo-choo ch-boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Gonna settle down by the railroad track
And live the life o’Riley in a beaten down shack
So when I hear a whistle I can peep thru the crack
And watch the train a rollin’ when it’s ballin-the-jack
For I just love the rhythm of the clickety clack
So 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
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
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Take me right back to the track, Jack
