In 1946, Nat King Cole was the first to record and release “(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66”. It was a hit that year, making the pop and R&B charts, and became a standard with many cover versions.
Fifteen years later, he re-recorded the original arrangement for The Nat King Cole Story. That album...
[Verse 1]
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]
It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Bridge]
Now you go through St. Louie
Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty
You'll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
[Verse 3]
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Guitar and Piano Solos]
[Verse 3]
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Outro]
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
