(E7) N.C.
Take me right back to the track, Jack

[Verse 1]
A7
Headin' for the station, with my pack on the back
A7
Tired of transportation in the back of a hack
  D7
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack
    A7
And hear the lonesome whistles, see the smoke from the stack
   E7
To pal around with democratic fellows named Mac
   A7
So take me right back to the track, Jack

[Chorus]
D7
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
A7
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
D7
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
E7                        A7
Take me right back to the track, Jack

[Verse 2]
    A7
You wake up in the morning, feelin' sharp as a tack
    A7
You open up the sack and then you gobble a snack
    D7
You smoke a cigarette you didn't get in the pack
      A7
While takin' off your shoes so you can empty the slack
     E7
With nothing you can do about the dough that you lack
    A7
But beat it right back to the track, Jack

[Chorus]
D7
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
A7
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
D7
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
E7                        A7
Take me right back to the track, Jack

[Solo] (Saxophone)
A7       | A7       | D7       | D7      |
A7       | A7       | E7       | E7      |
A7       | A7       | 

[Verse 3]
    A7
You reach your destination but alas in a lack
    A7
You met some compensation to get back in the black
    D7
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
    A7
And read the situation from the front to the back
    E7
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
   A7
So put it right back in the rack, Jack

[Chorus]
D7
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
A7
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
D7
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
E7                        A7
Take me right back to the track, Jack

[Verse 4]
A7
Gonna settle down beside the railroad track
    A7
And live the life of Riley in the beaten-down shack
   A7                            D7
So when I hear the whistle I can peep through the crack
    A7
And watch the train a-rollin' when it's ballin' the jack
     E7
Well I just love the rhythm of the clickety-clack
   A7
So take me right back to the track, Jack

[Chorus]
D7
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
A7
Woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie
D7
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
E7                        N.C.
Take me right back to the track, Jack
