Lyrics

In Chicago where I live, there's a There's an outfit that'd tow almost anything off the street But they deal mostly with automobiles And we call 'em the Lincoln Park Pirates The street lamps are on in Chicago tonight And lovers are gazin' at stars, the stores are all closin' And Daley is dozin' and the fat man is counting the cars "And there's more cars than places to put 'em," he said "But I got room for them all, so round 'em up, boys 'Cause I want some more toys, hit the lot by the grocery store" To me, way, hey, tow 'em away The Lincoln Park Pirates are we; from Wilmette to Gary There's none that so hairy and we always collect our fee To me, way, hey, tow 'em away, we plunder the streets of your town Be it, Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy And no one can make us shut down We break into cars when we gotta With pickaxe and hammer and saw And they said this garage had no license But little care I for the law All my drivers are friendly and courteous Their good manners you'll always will get 'Cause they all are recent graduates of the charm school in Joliet To me, way, hey, tow 'em away The Lincoln Park Pirates are we; from Wilmette to Gary There's none that so hairy and we always collect our fee To me, way, hey, tow 'em away, we plunder the streets of your town Be it, Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy And no one can make us shut down And when all the cars are collected And all of their fenders are ruined Then I'll tow every boat in Belmont Harbor to the Lincoln Park Lagoon And when I've collected the ransom And sunk all the ones that won't yield Then I'll tow all the planes that are blocking the runways At Midway, O'hare and Meigs Field To me, way, hey, tow 'em away The Lincoln Park Pirates are we; from Wilmette to Gary There's none that so hairy and we always collect our fee To me, way, hey, tow 'em away, now citizens gather around And I think it's enough, and let's call his bluff Let's tow the bum out of town
