"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 clickity-clack 
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack 
And pal around with democratic fellas named Mac 
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! 
 
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 situations 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! 
 
(Scat section, background as follows: 
Choo choo, ch'boogie 
Woo woo ch'boogie 
Choo choo, ch'boogie 
Woo woo ch'boogie 
Choo choo, ch'boogie 
So take me right back to the track, Jack! 
 
Choo choo, ch'boogie 
Woo woo ch'boogie 
Choo choo, ch'boogie 
Woo woo ch'boogie 
Choo choo, ch'boogie 
So take me right back to the track, Jack!) 
 
I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track 
And live the life of Riley in a beaten-down shack 
So when I hear a whistle I can peep through the crack 
And watch the train a runnin' when it's ballin' the jack! 
Oh I just love the rhythm of the clickity-clack 
So take me right back to the shack, 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!"
