Route 66 Lyrics

Route 66 Lyrics
* Words and Music by Bobby Troup
* First recorded by Nat King Cole in 1946



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 2,000 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.


Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66.
Come on in -- get your kicks on Route 66.
Get your kicks on Route 66.
