So that's how you spell Kankakee! I've sung the song for a quarter of a century and often wondered. (I learned it by ear from the Arlo Guthrie album.)

"Passengers will please refrain" was oft performed in the UK by the late Colin Scot and also by Diz Disley - nice to be reminded of that, too. If I remember aright, it was usually segued into "In the Boarding House I Lived In", which was mentioned in a recent thread. Happy memories.
