Mister, you may have traveled near or far
But you haven′t seen the country till you've seen the country by car!
Mister, may I recommend a royal route
It starts in Illinois
Let me tell you, boy!
If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that′s the best!
Get your kicks on Route 66!
It winds from Chicago to L.A
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66!
Now you go through St. Louis, Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma City is a-mighty purty!
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona, Kingsman, Barstow, San Bernardino!
Won′t you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66!
Springfield, Illinois
Springfield, Missouri, too
Seven states, count ′em, seven spread out in front of you!
Instrumental break
You'll like the aroma of Tulsa, Oklahoma
Albuquerque and Tucumcari make New Mexico extraordinary
You′ll want to own a piece of Arizona
Needles, Essex, Amboy, Azusa
No one in sunny Cal is a loser!
So get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
If any Joe tells you to go some other way
Say "Nix!"
Get your kicks on Route 66!
