Song title: Frank Sinatra - On The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe

Edit By: 216.73.216.68

What a lovely trip, Im feeling so fresh and alive
And Im so glad to arrive, its all so grand
Its easy to see you dont need a palace
To feel like alice in wonderland
Back in ohio where I come from
Ive done a lot of dreamin and Ive travelled some
But I never thought Id 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 Id 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 Ive got a little gypsy in my heart
When Im old and grey and settled down
If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town
Then Ill spend my busmans holiday
On the atchison, topeka and the santa fe

All aboard! (we came across the country lickety-split)
(rollin ninety miles an hour), I cant believe Im here at last
Woo-oo-ooo! (when you go travellin, its best for you
To take the atchison, topeka and the santa fe!)
I cant 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
