Route 66

ROUTE 66


If you ever plan to motor west,

travel my way, take the highway that is best.

Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.


It winds from Chicago to LA,

more than two thousand miles all the way.

Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.


Now you go though 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 sixty-six.
