Pardon me, boy
  Is this the Chattanooga choo choo
  Track twenty-nine
  Boy, you can give me a shine
  I can afford
  To board a 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
  Than to have your ham an' eggs in Carolina
  
  When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar
  Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
  Shovel all the coal in
  Gotta keep a-rollin'
  Woo, woo, 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 choo choo
  Won't you choo-choo me home
