Original Version

If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, 
Take the highway that is best --
Get your kicks on Route 66.

It winds from Chicago to LA,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on Route 66.

Now you go through Saint Looey
Joplin, Missouri,
and Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.
You 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 66.

Instrumental Interlude

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66. 
Come on in -- get your kicks on Route 66.
Get your kicks on Route 66.

Rolling Stones Version

Well if you ever plan to motor west 
Just take my way that's the highway that's the best 
Get your kicks on Route 66 

Well it winds from Chicago to L.A. 
More than 2000 miles all the way 
Get your kicks on Route 66 

Well goes from St. Louis down to Missouri 
Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty 
You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico 
Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona 
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino 
Would you get hip to this kindly tip 
And go take that California trip 
Get your kicks on Route 66 

Well goes from St. Louie down to Missouri 
Oklahoma city looks oh so pretty 
You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico 
Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona 
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino 
Would you get hip to this kindly tip 
And go take that California trip 
Get your kicks on Route 66
