On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

FROM: The Harvey Girls
SUNG BY: Judy Garland
What a lovely trip,
I'm feeling so fresh and alive,
And I'm so glad to arrive,
It's all so grand,
It's easy to see
You don't need a palace
To be like Alice in Wonderland,
Back in Ohio where I come from,
I done a lotta dreamin' and I travelled some,
But I never thought I'd see the day
When I ever took a ride on the Santa Fe.
I would lean across my windowsill
And hear the whistle echoing across the hill,
Then I'd watch the lights till they fade away
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.
What a thrill,
With the wheels a singin' westward home,
Right from the day I heard them start
'Cross the Kansas pleins from New Mexico,
I guess I got a little gypsy in my heart,
When I'm old and grey and settled down,
If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town,
Then I'll spend my busman's holiday
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.
All aboard,
Woo woo woo woo,
I can't believe I'm here at last,
Woo woo, woo woo woo woo,
I can't believe that anything would go so fast,
Then you pull that trouble, whistle blows,
A huffin' and a puffin' and away she goes,
All aboard for Californiay,
On the Atchison,
On the Atchison, Topeka,
On the Atchison, Topeka,
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.
