(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66 Lyrics by Bobby Troup

Big Band Dance Music: 30 Classic Songs of the 1940s and 1950s

1957

[Verse 1]
If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Verse 2]
It winds from Chicago to L.A
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Now it goes through Saint Looey
Joplin, Missouri
Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty
You'll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
[Verse 3]
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make, when you make, make that California trip?
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
