[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" "Yeah!"
"Tonight's The Night" "Yes, ma'am"
"And if they can name it, they can claim it!"
"Route 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: Martin L. 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
Well, it winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
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
If you get hip to this kind of trip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
[Interlude]
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
Well, it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh-so-pretty
You'll...

[Bridge: 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'm just trying to tell you like it is. Male citizens and aliens residing in the United States, born in 60, 61 and 62, have the responsibility to register and to keep Selective Service advised of any change of address. So do it at any US Post Office. Hey, thank you!"
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
If you get hip to this kind of trip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66

[Outro: Martin L. Gore]

Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
