Lyrics:

Heading for the station with a pack on my back

Tired of transportation in the back of a hack

I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack

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

Pal around with Democratic fellows named Mack

So, take me right back to the track, Jack


[Chorus]

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 & 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]


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
