If you ever plan to motor west
Take my way it's the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66

It winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles along the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Now go to St. Louie Joplin Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty
You'll see Amarillo Gallup New Mexico
Flagstaff Arizona don't forget Winona

Kingman Barstow San Bernadino
Once you get hip to this kindly tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
