Chicago

I got the surprise the surprise of my life

I had to stop and stare

I saw man dancing with his own wife

And you'll never guess where

Chicago Chicago that toddlin' town that toddlin' town

Chicago Chicago I'll show you around--I love it

Betcha bottom dollar you'll lose your blues

In Chicago Chicago

The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

On State Street that great street

I just want to stay I just want to stay

They do things they don't do on Broadway say

They have the time the time of their life

I saw a man who danced with his wife

In Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago

Free and easy town brassy breezy town

Chicago Chicago

Let me cool my heels right down at Marshall Field

Come and walk with

Along the lake to the drake

Hollar and hoot all through the loop

Shout out now to Mrs O'Leary's cow

No she-she life is peachy

Chicago we'll meet at the punk-room Ambassaodr E's

To say the least

On shishkabobs and breast of suave we will feed and get free

Don't tell me sin is rampid and right

Think of that man who danced with his wife

In Chicago Chicago

I feel sympathy for that wonderful windy town
