Let the Good Times Roll: The Music of Louis Jordan (MCA 12042) 
Headin' for the station with a pack on my back 
I'm tired of transportation in the back of my hack 
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack 
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack to pal around 
With democratic fellow named Mac 
So take me right back to the track, Jack 
Choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie, woo-woo 
Woo-woo, ch'boogie, choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie 
Take me right back to the track, Jack 
You reach your destination but you don't go back 
You need some compensation to get back in the black 
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack 
And read the situations from the front to the back 
But the only job that's open needs a man with a knack 
So put it right back in the rack, Jack 
Choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie, woo-woo 
Woo-woo, ch'boogie, choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie 
Take me right back to the track, Jack 
Gonna settle down by the railroad track 
Live the life O'Riley in the beat down shack 
When I hear a whistle I can peep thru the crack 
Watch the train rollin' when it's ballin' the jack 
Love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack 
So take me right back to the track, Jack 
Choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie, woo-woo 
Woo-woo, ch'boogie, choo-choo, choo-choo, ch'boogie 
Take me right back to the track, Jack 
Take me right back to the track, Jack
