Route 66 Lyrics

If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that is best
Get your kicks on route 66

It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on route 66

Now you go through saint looey
Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma city is mighty pretty
You see amarillo
Gallup, new Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget winona
Kingman, barstow, San Bernandino

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on route 66
