Choo Choo Ch'Boogie
Journey of Rhythm: Choo Choo Ch'Boogie's Lonesome Whistle
Lyrics
I'm headin' for the station with a pack on my back
I'm heading to the train station carrying a backpack.
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I'm tired of using transportation services like taxis.
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickity-clack
I enjoy listening to the rhythmic sound of the train on the tracks.
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
It's satisfying to see the smoke rising from the train's stack and hear its whistle.
And pal around with democratic fellas named Mac
I like hanging out with friendly guys named Mac, who share democratic views.
So take me right back to the track, Jack!
Return me to the train tracks, Jack!
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Expressing a desire to return to the joy of train travel and the associated sounds and experiences.
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!
Upon reaching your destination, there's a need for compensation or financial recovery.
You need some compensation to get back in the black
To recover from financial losses, compensation is necessary.
You take a mornin' paper from the top of the stack
Looking at the morning newspaper to understand the current situations.
And read the situations from the front to the back
Reading the news thoroughly from front to back.
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
There's only one job available that requires a specific skill.
So put it right back in the rack, Jack!
Rejecting the job opportunity as it doesn't fit the qualifications.
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Reiteration of the desire to return to the train tracks for a better life.
Woo woo
-Woo woo ch'boogie
-Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
-Take me right back to the track, Jack!
-Choo choo, ch'boogie
Repeating the chorus, emphasizing the longing to go back to the train tracks.
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
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the desire to return to the train tracks.
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
Planning to settle near the railroad and live a simple life.
And live the life of Riley in a beaten-down shack
Willing to live comfortably in a rundown shelter near the railroad tracks.
So when I hear a whistle I can peep through the crack
Desire to watch passing trains through a crack in the shelter upon hearing the whistle.
And watch the train a runnin' when it's ballin' the jack!
Enjoying watching the train speeding by.
Oh I just love the rhythm of the clickity-clack
Expressing admiration for the rhythmic sound of the train on the tracks.
So take me right back to the shack, Jack!
Requesting to be taken back to the shack near the tracks.
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Repeated chorus emphasizing the desire to return to the train tracks.
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
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the longing to go back to the train tracks.
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!
Reinforcing the plea to return to the train tracks.
