Hey baby,
won't you come with me
And look around at my hometown,
Chicago
It's a heck of a town
Chicago, Chicago,
that toddlin' town
It's a toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago,
I'll show you around, I love it,
bet your bottom dol lar
you'll lose the blues in Chicago,
Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday
could not shut down
Keep a -goin' round and round
on State Street, that great street
I just wanna say, 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.
On State Street,
that great, great street
I just want to say
That's the only street they do things
they don't do on Broadway
Say, they have the time,
the time of their life
I saw a man and he danced
with his wife in Chicago
Chicago, my hometown
Any old maid that's not afraid,
powders her nose,
puts on new clothes,
she'll get a bowl
in Chicago.
On State Street, that great street,
I just wanna say, 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
That's where I wanna be Chicago
I'm never gonna leave Chicago
My hometown you
