1946 – Bobby Troup
If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way take the highway, that’s the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
It winds from Chicago to L. A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Now you go through St. Louis, Joplin Missouri
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty
You’ll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don’t forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Won’t you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
