Louis Jordan - Texas And Pacific/All For The Love Of Lil lyrics

I know you heard of the Chattanooga Choo Choo The Rock Island, the New York Central, the New Haven and Hartford The Pennsylvania, the Missoura Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Northern Pacific is terrific Oh, but Jack, you heard of the IC and the Santa Fee But you gotta take a ride on the TP I'm bidin' time aboard the Texas and Pacific Past big 'D' - didn't stay About a half and hour to be specific Cowtown's just a short way Headin' southwest on the Texas and Pacific Big wheels clackin' around All the sights that I take in are quite terrific I'm west Texas bound Say, mister porter - unwind my gal She's watin' in El Paso for me Say mister porter, that's Pecos no less My Stetson needs a dustin' and my pants need a press I guess I'll have to find a half to tip the porter "15 minutes", he says When I arrive we'll take a trip across the border Honeymoon in Juarez Cause the TP Special gets me there in much less Say, mister porter - unwind my gal She's watin' in El Paso for me Say mister porter, that's Pecos no less My Stetson needs a dustin' and my pants need a press I guess I'll have to find a half to tip the porter "15 minutes", he says When I arrive we'll take a trip across the border Honeymoon in Juarez Cause the TP Special gets me there in much less TP! I've got plenty money in my jeans Feelin' like a man of means I'd give up all those other queens All for the love of Lil No more nights of sloppy Joe's No more bettin' on the nose I'd give up all my fancy clothes All for the love of Lil Every night when all the boys Congregate to have a ball Although they should have called I won't pay no mind at all No more jivin' round the town No more actin' like a clown Jack, I'm gonna settle down All for the love of Lil I've got some money in my jeans I'm feelin' like a man of means Give up all those other queens All for the love of Lil Every night when all the boys Congregate to have a ball Although they should have called I won't pay no mind at all No more nights of sloppy Joe's No more bettin' on the nose I'd give up all my fancy clothes All for the love of Lil
