(written by Robert William Troup Jr.)
If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way
Take the highway
That’s the best
Get your kicks
On Route sixty-six
It winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks
On Route sixty-six
You go through Saint Louis,
Joplin, Missouri,
Oklahoma City
Looks mighty pretty.
You’ll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Don’t forget Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino.
Won’t you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks
On Route sixty-six
Won’t you make this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks
On Route sixty-six
