On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

歌詞

What a lovely trip, I'm feeling so fresh and alive And I'm so glad to arrive, it's all so grand It's easy to see you don't need a palace To feel like alice in wonderland Back in ohio where I come from I've done a lot of dreamin' and I've travelled some But I never thought I'd see the day When I ever took a ride on the santa fe (wanna take a ride on the santa fe) I would lean across my window sill And hear the whistle echoin' across the hill Then I'd watch the lights till they fade away On the atchison, topeka and the santa fe What a thrill (what a great big wonderful thrill) With the wheels a-singin' "westward ho" Right from the day I heard them start 'cross the kansas plains from new mexico I guess I've got a little gypsy in my heart When I'm old and grey and settled down If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town Then I'll spend my busman's holiday On the atchison, topeka and the santa fe All aboard! (we came across the country lickety-split) (rollin' ninety miles an hour), I can't believe I'm here at last Woo-oo-ooo! (when you go travellin', it's best for you To take the atchison, topeka and the santa fe!) I can't believe that anything could go so fast Then you pull that throttle, whistle blows A-huffin' and a-puffin' and away she goes All aboard for california*, hey! On the atchison (on the atchison) On the atchison, topeka (on the atchison, topeka) On the atchison, topeka (on the atchison, topeka) On the atchison, topeka and the santa fe! *california pronounced "californ-eye-ay"
