- This is not a real part of the Chattanooga Choo-Choo song. It's the
- usual intro Tex Beneke used to do when he occasionally graced the
- microphone in Glenn Miller's band.
-
- The first line is Glenn's question, the last three Tex's response.
-
- There were several other occasions when similar intro's were done.
- 'The little man who wasn't there' is one I remember.

- But since Tennessee *is* mentioned in the song, it obviosly belongs on
- the list. Or is someone collecting songs where a state is mentioned
- twice?
