[Verse 1]
F
Headin' for the station with a pack on my back
F
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack
Bb
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack
F
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
C7
And pal around with democratic fellas named Mac
F
So take me right back to the track, Jack
[Chorus]
Bb
Choo-choo, choo-choo ch'boogie
F
Woo-woo, woo-woo ch'boogie
Bb
Choo-choo, choo-choo ch'boogie
C7 F
Take me right back to the track, Jack

[Verse 2]
F
You reach your destination, but alas and alack
F
You need some compensation to get back in the black
Bb
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
F
And read the situations from the front to the back
C7
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
F
So put it right back in the rack, Jack
[Chorus]
Bb
Choo-choo, choo-choo ch'boogie
F
Woo-woo, woo-woo ch'boogie
Bb
Choo-choo, choo-choo ch'boogie
C7 F
Take me right back to the track, Jack

[Verse 3]
F
Gonna settle down by the railroad track
F
Live the life of Riley in the beaten down shack
Bb
So when I hear a whistle, I can peep through the crack
F
And watch the train a-rollin' when it's ballin' the jack
C7
Well, I just love the rhythm of the clickety-clack
F
So take me right back to the track, Jack
[Chorus]
Bb
Choo-choo, choo-choo ch'boogie

Woo-woo, woo-woo ch'boogie
