Vou explicar que é o Chattanooga Choo Choo
I'll explain what Chattanooga Choo Choo is
Choo Choo é um trem que vai, que vai me levar perto de alguém
Choo Choo is a train that goes, that's going to take me close to someone
Pois numa estação que passa o Chattanooga Choo Choo
Because at a station that Chattanooga Choo Choo passes
Eu vou saltar, se vou, se vou
I'll jump, if I'm going, if I'm going
Mesmo se o trem não parar
Even if the train doesn't stop
E você pega o trem na Pennsylvania Station
And you catch the train at Pennsylvania Station
Às três horas e tal
At three o'clock and such
Pouco a pouco vai saindo da capital
Little by little it leaves the capital
Toma um cafezinho e tira uma pestana
Have a little coffee and take a nap
E come remeleques lá em Carolina
And eat snacks there in Carolina
O Americano now get into the bar
The American now gets into the bar
Oh the boogie hoogie choo choo into the bar
Oh the boogie hoogie choo choo into the bar
Mas para o brasileiro estar querendo sambar
But for the Brazilian wanting to samba
Boom tchquibum baragadá baragadum
Boom tchquibum baragadá baragadum
Boom tchquibum baragadá baragadá
Boom tchquibum baragadá baragadá
Pois o maquinista pode ser sambista
Because the conductor can be a samba dancer
Oh Chatanooga there you are
Oh Chattanooga there you are
Vou, vou, vou encontrar com certo alguém
I'm, I'm, I'm going to meet someone special
Que lá me espera na estação
Who is waiting for me at the station
Ahá! Um certo alguém I used to call Funny Face
Aha! Someone special I used to call Funny Face
Pois tem cara de Spencer Tracy
Because he looks like Spencer Tracy
Quero chegar pois sei que lá vai ser prá lá de bom
I want to get there because I know it's going to be beyond good
So Chattanooga Choo Choo I wanna choo
So Chattanooga Choo Choo, I wanna choo
And to teach you now
And to teach you now
Ah Chattanooga Chatanooga
Ah Chattanooga Chattanooga
