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

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

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
