Thread Name: Lyr Add: Get Your Kicks on Route 66 (Bobby Troup)
Subject: Route 66 COMPLETE lyrics
I tried this a few years ago but with no success. I KNOW there are more verses to Bobby Troup's "Route 66" as I know most of it except for the end. Does anyone know it? (The Perry Como lyric site lists his version as the complete version but it's not the one I know.)

"South of the Great Lakes You... (sounds like 'feel up the pancakes'?) The very dear Missouri might stimulate your appetite" And it's a total blank from here. Hope someone knows...
