My little baby brother,
sister and my mother
all my cousins and my uncles and dad
live in a happy, happy little snappy, snappy
little town where ev'rybody is glad,
San Francisco town.
That's where I am bound
I'm drawing closer closer on a train
and oh sir when I get there
I'll be glad.

Oh you sixty mile an hour choo choo hound
rattle rattle rattle
cause I'm 'Frisco bound.
You better hurry across the ground
don't you dare to be slow, oh
oh you sunny, all the money, honey coast.
Oh you Mammy, Uncle Sammy loves you most
wake up choo choo roar and roar
steam up steam up more and more
rattle rattle like you never did before
'cause I'm San Francisco bound.

Oh you sixty mile an hour choo choo hound
rattle rattle rattle
cause I'm 'Frisco bound.
You better hurry across the ground
don't you dare to be slow, oh
oh you sunny, all the money, honey coast.
Oh you Mammy, Uncle Sammy loves you most
wake up choo choo roar and roar
steam up steam up more and more
rattle rattle like you never did before
'cause I'm San Francisco bound.

I've got a full lunch basket
if you care to ask it
you can share it if you're going my way,
I've got my choo choo ticket
if you dare to picket from my pocket
there'll be murder to pay,
San Francisco shores
here's to you and yours
your sunny sons and daughters
live in sunny quarters
and I'll meet them all today.

Oh you sixty mile an hour choo choo hound
rattle rattle rattle
cause I'm 'Frisco bound.
You better hurry across the ground
don't you dare to be slow, oh
oh you sunny, all the money, honey coast.
Oh you Mammy, Uncle Sammy loves you most
wake up choo choo roar and roar
steam up steam up more and more
rattle rattle like you never did before
'cause I'm San Francisco bound.

Oh you sixty mile an hour choo choo hound
rattle rattle rattle
cause I'm 'Frisco bound.
You better hurry across the ground
don't you dare to be slow, oh
oh you sunny, all the money, honey coast.
Oh you Mammy, Uncle Sammy loves you most
wake up choo choo roar and roar
steam up steam up more and more
rattle rattle like you never did before
'cause I'm San Francisco bound.
