ROUTE 66: Song

Get Your Kicks On Route 66

This song was written by Bobby Troup and by his wife Cynthia in 1946 and was published by Londontown Music. They wrote this song after travelling on Route 66.

If you ever plan to motor west:

Travel my way, the highway that's the best.

Get your kicks on Route 66!

It winds from Chicago to L.A.,

More than 2,000 miles all the way,

Get your kicks on Route 66!

Now you go thru St. Looey...Joplin, Missouri!

And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty.

You'll see Amarillo...Gallup, New Mexico.

Flagstaff, Arizona: don't forget Winona,

Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino.

Won't you...get hip to this timely tip:

when you...make that California trip.

Get your kicks on Route 66!
