(These are pretty much the lyrics to the Louis Jordan version, and I

would assume the same for Asleep at the wheel). I don't know what key

you're doing it in, so I'm including position numbers.

CHOO CHOO CH' BOOGIE

I

Heading for the station with a pack on my back

Tired of transportation in the back of a hack

IV

I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack

I

And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack

V

Pal around with Democratic fellows named Mack

I

So, Take me right back to the track, Jack

CHORUS

IV

Choo choo, choo choo ch' boogie

I

Woo woo, woo woo ch' boogie

IV

Choo choo, choo choo ch' boogie

V I

Take me right back to the track, Jack

VERSE 2

You reach your destination, but alas & alack

You need some compensation to get back in the black

You take the morning 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

(chorus again)

VERSE 3

Well I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track

And lead the life of Riley in a beaten down shack

And when I hear the whistle I can peep through the crack

And see the train a' rollin' while she's ballin' the jack

I just love the rhtyhm of the clickety clack

So take me right back to the track

Craig Evans (Burnt Taters)
