All aboard
It was a big night in December,
Chattanooga, Tennessee
All the old folks still remember
That snowy Christmas Eve
The way Santa saved that holiday,
It’s still hard to believe
Oh the weather man was calling
For the snow to keep coming down
And the way that it was falling,
Rudolph never saw the ground
By Christmas day, Santa’s sleigh
Never made it to town
Then all at once they heard
A mighty whistle blow
The ground started shaking,
It even shook the mistletoe
And then coming 'round the mountain,
Right through the steam and smoke
Pulling 16 coaches
Shouting ho ho ho who needs a sleigh
When Santa's got a choo-choo train
Well now, he could barely hold it
Coming down the hill so fast
Yeah that shiny locomotive
Made it town in no time flat
But you can't go slow with a Christmas load
Coming down the railroad tracks
When he pulled into the station
And he finally shut her down
There was a big ol’ celebration,
Everybody gathered 'round
They passed out toys to the girls and boys
From miles around
Then all at once they heard
A mighty whistle blow
The ground started shaking,
It even shook the mistletoe
And then coming 'round the mountain,
Right through the steam and smoke
Pulling 16 coaches
Shouting ho ho ho who needs a sleigh,
When Santa's got a choo-choo train
Oh yeah, no need to fly away,
Santa's got a choo-choo train!
