Woody Gutherie Lyrics:

"Get Your Kicks (On Route 66)" Bobby Troup, 1946, Londontown Music 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, Barstown, San Bernardino. Won't You..get hip to this timely tip: When you..make that California trip. Get your kicks on Route 66!
