Chicago

I've got a gal, I've got a pal

Waiting for me

There with the boys, in Illinois

I wanna be

You may not care, for to be there

But you should go

When you're in town, just call around

For I'm well known

In Chicago, Chicago

That toddlin' town, that toddlin' town

Chicago, Chicago

I'll show you around

I love it, bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues

In Chicago, Chicago

The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

On State Street, that great street

I just wanna say

They do things they don't do on Broadway

Say, they have the time, the time of their life

I saw a man, he danced with his wife

In Chicago, Chicago, my hometown

Philadelphia?

No!

Pittsburgh?

No!

Toledo?

No!

Chicago?

Yes!

Chicago, Chicago

That toddlin' town, that toddlin' town

Chicago, Chicago

I'll show you around

You'll love it, bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues

In Chicago, Chicago

The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

On State Street, that great street

I just wanna say

They do things they don't do on Broadway

Say, I know a man caught a fish in the lake

I know a girl lost her tooth in a steak

In Chicago, Chicago, my hometown

Chicago, Chicago, my hometown
