When the Midnight Choo-Choo Leaves for Alabam’ Lyrics by Ethel Merman

There’s No Business Like Show Business (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1954

[MOLLY & TERENCE]
When that midnight choo-choo leaves for Alabam'
[TERENCE]
I got to catch that train
[MOLLY & TERENCE]
I'll be right there
I've got my fare
When I see that rusty-haired conductor man
[TERENCE]
I got to find that man
[MOLLY & TERENCE]
I'll grab him by the collar
And I'll holler
[MOLLY]
Ala-
[TERENCE]
-bam'
[MOLLY]
Ala-
[TERENCE]
-bam'
[MOLLY & TERENCE]
That's where you'll stop your train
That brings me back again
Down home where I'll remain
Where my honey lamb am
I will be right there with bells
When that old conductor yells
All aboard! All aboard!
All aboard for Alabamy!
[TERENCE]
Board!
[MOLLY]
For Alabam'
For Alabamy
[TERENCE]
Board!
[MOLLY]
I'll be right there with bells
When that old conductor yells
All aboard for Alabam'!
[MOLLY & TERENCE]
When that midnight choo-choo leaves for Alabam'
