Choo Choo Ch'Boogie
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 thru 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!
A passenger train is creeping along, painfully slowly.
Finally, it creaks to a complete halt. A passenger sees
a conductor walking by outside.
"What's going on?" she yells out the window.
"Cow on the track!" replies the conductor.
Ten minutes later, the train resumes its slow pace.
Within five minutes, however, it stops again.
The woman sees the same conductor walking by again.
She leans out the window and yells,
"What happened? Did we catch up with the cow again?"
A man had to attend a large convention in Chicago.
On this particular trip he decided to bring his wife.
When they arrived at their hotel and were shown to their room,
the man said: "You rest here while I register for the convention —
I'll be back within an hour."
The wife lies down on the bed… just then, an elevated train
passes by close to the window and shakes the hotel room so
hard she's thrown out of the bed.
Thinking this must be a freak occurrence, she lies down once more.
Within minutes, another train shakes the room so violently,
she's again pitched to the floor.
Exasperated, she calls the front desk, asks for the manager.
The manager says he'll be right up. The manager (naturally)
is skeptical but the wife insists the story is true.
"Look… lie here on the bed — in a minute or two you'll be
thrown right to the floor!" So he lies down next to the wife.
Just then the husband walks in.
"What," he says, "are you doing here?"
The manager calmly replies,
"Would you believe I'm waiting for a train?
