| 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 traveled 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 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 gray 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, ooh, ooh
|
| (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
|
| Huffin' and 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 |
