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!

*California pronounced "californ-eye-ay"
