Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, if you ever plan to motor West

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

Get your kicks on Route 66

[Verse 2]

Well, it winds from Chicago to L.A.

More than two thousand miles all the way

Get your kicks on Route 66

[PreChorus]

Well, it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri

Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty

You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico

Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona

Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino

[Chorus]

If you get hip to this kind of tip

And go take that California trip

Get your kicks on Route 66

[PreChorus]

Well, it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri

Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty

You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico

Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona

Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino

[Chorus]

If you get hip to this kind of tip

And go take that California trip

Get your kicks on Route 66

[Outro]

Get your kicks on Route 66

Get your kicks on Route 66

Get your kicks on Route 66

Get your kicks on Route 66
