Discography

Pardon me boy, is that the
Chattanooga choo-choo (yes, yes)
Track 29, hey can you
give me a shine
Can you afford to board the
Chattanooga choo-choo
I’ve got my fare and
just a trifle to spare

You leave the Pennsylvania station
‘bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and
then you’re in Baltimore
Shovel all the coal in
gotta keep it rollin’
Woo-woo Chattanooga there you are

She’s gonna cry until I tell
her that I’ll never roam
So Chattanooga choo-choo
won’t you choo-choo me home

All aboard
(Chattanooga, Chattanooga)
So Chattanooga choo-choo
won’t you choo-choo me home

A warden threw a party
at the county jail
A prison guard was there
and they began to wail
The band started jumpin’
and the joint began to swing
I can’t believe I’m doin’ this Elvis thing

Let’s rock everybody
let’s rock oooh yeah
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock

Spider Murphy played
the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin’
on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois
went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang

Let’s rock, hey, everybody
let’s rock, oooh yeah
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock

Let’s go to the hop, oooh
Let’s go to the hop, oh baby
Let’s go to the hop, oooh
Let’s go to the hop
Ah, let’s go to the hop

Para bailar La Bamba
Para bailar La Bamba,
Se necesita una poca de gracia,
Una poca de gracia,
pa' mí, pa' tí
y Arriba, arriba..
y arriba, arriba
Por tí seré por tí seré
por tí seré.
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitán soy capitán
soy capitán
Ba Ba Bamba Hey
Ba Ba Bamba
Ba Ba Bamba
Yeah, La Bamba

Rock and roll is her to stay
It will never die
It was meant to be that way
Though I don’t know why
I don’t care what people say
Rock and roll is here to stay
Rock and roll
Yeah, rock and roll
Yeah, rock and roll
Rock and roll
