Travel my way, take the highway that's best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Now you go through St. Louis and Joplin, Missouri
Oklahoma City is mighty pretty
You'll see Amarillo
And Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you gonna make that California trip
