Lyrics

(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66

If you ever plan to motor west

Travel my way

Take the highway that's the 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 St. Louis

Joplin, Missouri

And Oklahoma City looks 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

Won't you get hip to this timely tip

When you make that California trip

Get your kicks on Route 66

Get your kicks on Route 66

Get your kicks on Route 66
