On The Atchison, Topeka, And The Santa Fe - Judy Garland

What a lovely trip

I'm feeling so fresh an 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 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 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 then to be time

I can't believe I'm here at last

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 Topeka and the Santa Fe
