Chicago, Illinois

Trendy travelers tend to talk Of London, Paris, Rome, New York Like only they were stylish and unique But out in the Midwest Is the city I love the best A town so smart it's spelling stars With: C - H - I - C... Chic! Chicago, Illinois, is like a shiny toy The prairie State is proud to state That it's its pride and joy The Windy City sweeps ya clean off ya feet; POW! Its charm is complete; POW! They're knockin' ya flat, this way and that On every downtown street POW! The White Sox and the Cubs And other sporting clubs Make living here a pretty nifty ploy Smack on the lake, this is the report! Someday, they say, we'll have an airport! When they say: "hey, I'm from Chi!" They mean Chicago, Illinois!
