Lyrics
Headin? for the station with a pack on my back
Heading to the train station with a backpack.
I'm tired of transportation in the back of my hack
Tired of riding in the back of a taxi, seeking a change.
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
Enjoys the rhythmic sound of the train tracks.
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
Appreciates the sound of the train whistle and sees smoke from the train stack.
To pal around with democratic fellow named Mac
Wants to be friends with a democratic person named Mac.
So take me right back to the track, Jack
Desires to return to the train tracks with Mac.
Choo choo, choo choo, ch?boogie, woo woo
Expresses a desire for the "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" and asks to be taken back to the tracks.
Woo woo, ch?boogie, choo choo, choo choo, ch?boogie
-Take me right back to the track, Jack
-You reach your destination but you don't go back
After reaching a destination, there is a need for compensation to recover financially.
You need some compensation to get back in the black
Financial difficulties require compensation to get back on track.
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
Reads a morning paper to understand current situations.
And read the situations from the front to the back
Examines situations from front to back in the newspaper.
But the only job that's open needs a man with a knack
The only available job requires a skilled individual.
So put it right back in the rack, Jack
Suggests putting the job back on the shelf because it's not suitable.
Choo choo, choo choo, ch?boogie, woo woo
Reiterates the desire for the "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" and returning to the tracks.
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
Plans to settle down near the railroad track.
Live the life O?Riley in the beat down shack
Intends to live a carefree life in a simple shack.
When I hear a whistle I can peep through the crack
Listens for the train whistle and watches it through a crack.
Watch the train rollin? when it?s ballin? the jack
Observes the train rolling with excitement.
Love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
Enjoys the rhythmic sound of the train tracks once again.
So take me right back to the track, Jack
Wants to return to the train tracks.
Choo choo, choo choo, ch?boogie, woo woo
Expresses the desire for the "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" and going back to the tracks.
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
Repeats the request to be taken back to the tracks with emphasis.
