[Intro: "Name That Tune" TV Show Snippet]
They come from everywhere to take the challenge: Name That Tune!
"Great Balls of Fire"
"My Eyes Adored You"
Aha!
"Do That To Me One More Time"
Yah!
"Tonight's The Night"
Yes, Ma'am
And if they can name it, they can claim it!
Road 66

One thousand dollar bill with Grover Cleveland there it is, right there
How sweet it is!
"Jeeper's Creepers"
You got it!
It's big money, high hopes, near misses and love 'n' kisses
"Shake Rattle & Roll"
Yes, sir!
So join Host Tom Kennedy tonight at 7:30 and Name That Tune!

[Verse 1: Martin Gore]
Well 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]
Well it winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

[Verse 3]
Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino

[Verse 4]
If you get hip to this kind of tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66

[Synth Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty
You

[Drum Solo]

[Interlude: Wolfman Jack's US Selective Service PSA]
...is an act of Congress
All registration is, is it gives them a pool of names
To select them in case there is a national emergency
I've been trying to tell you like it is
Male citizens and aliens residing in the United States
More than 60, 61 and 62
Have the responsibility to register and keep Selective Service
Advised of any change of address
So do it at any US Post Office
Hey, Thank You!

[Verse 3 cont.]
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino

[Verse 4]
If you get hip to this kind of tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66

[Outro]
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
If you get hip to this kind of tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
