Story Behind The Song

Three months of hanging out with a model railroading enthusiast coming up with railroading iconic names of rail cars, engines and famous train destinations as lyric choices for this tongue and cheek tune set to a boogie dance tempo. Originally written for my rock band in 1978 this song has been rearranged for acoustic guitars, vocal harmony with a traditional harmonica adding to the RR motif.

Song Description

Train theme song of double meaning and innuendo about making love with the wife after a long days work.

Lyrics

CHOO CHOO BOOGIE

1.
Well in the evening after work'n till five
That's when my choo choo really comes alive
Me and my honey with the door locked up tight
On a love'n express just a roll'n through the night

Bridge
Take the night train to heavens border
I'm going all the way with the Santa Fe Super Chief

2.
Gonna take the love'n train on an all night run
Take it all the way to kingdom come
We got the moon and the stars for light
Got enough love'n steam to keep her running right

Bridge
We're just a stoking up my boiler
Gonna raise some hell with my Lionel tonight, It's alright

Chorus
Sing'n Choo Choo Boogie
Woo woo wee

Lead Break

My Lakawana's in the sauna making steam
My Waubash Canonball just won't stall
Red hot caboose will be bust'n ah loose tonight
It's all right


Bridge
Take the night train to heavens border
All the way with the Santa Fe Super Chief

You can come as you are to my dining car
Make yourself at home in my Vista Dome
The Pullman sleeper, she's my night time keeper tonight, it's all right

I'm just a stoke'n up my boiler
Raise some hell with my Lionel tonight

Take the night train to heavens border
All the way with my Santa Fe Super Chief

Chorus
Sing'n Choo Choo Boogie
Woo woo wee
Sing'n Choo Choo Boogie
Woo woo wee
