Headin' for the station with a pack on my back I'm tired of transportation in the back of my hack I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
To pal around with democratic fellow 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 you don't go back You need some compensation to get back in the black You take a morning paper from the top of the stack And read the situations from the front to the back
But 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
Gonna settle down by the railroad track Live the life O'Riley in the beat down shack When I hear a whistle I can peep through the crack Watch the train rollin' when it's ballin' the jack
Love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack 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 Take me right back to the track, Jack
