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!
