Chicago Chicago
That toddlin' town
Chicago Chicago
I'll show you around
I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll 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
Well they do things that they don't do on broadway
They have the time the time of their life
I saw a man he danced with his wife
In Chicago Chicago
My home town!
Chicago Chicago
Toddlin' town
Chicago Chicago
Let me show you around
It's leapin'!
Bet your bottom dollar you lose your blues in Chicago
Chicago
That's the town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down
On state street such a great street
Well I just wanna say
They do things in the loop they don't do on Broadway
They have the time the time of their life
I caught a cat who danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago my home town!
