Track byLouis Jordan & His Tympany Five
Headin' for the station with a pack on my back I'm 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 And pal around with democratic fellas 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 alas and alack 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 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 of Riley in the beaten down shack So when I hear a whistle, I can peep through the crack And watch the train a-rollin' when it's ballin' the jack Well, I just love 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
