Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
My conductor, George Rhodes, is from Chicago
And every once in a while, he gets terribly upset
Show 'em your scars, George
He gets terribly upset if no one does one of his songs
From his state, his city, Illinois
So, we have to oblige, occasionally
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
That toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, let me take you around
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
Chicago, the town that Marty Faye could not close down
He gave it a good, honest try, though
They got a great street, it's called State Street
I just wanna say, allow me to say
That they do things they ain't got guts enough to do in L.A., hey
While I had the time, the time of my life
I saw a man, who danced with his wife
And his name was Bruth
In Chicago, man, that's my hometown
We got a great street, called State Street
I just wanna say, allow me to say
That we do things they wouldn't even do on Broadway, hey
I'll be happy, I'll be happy, as I can be
Whenever they reopen up the Chez Paree in Chicago
You can keep San Francisco
Give me Chicago, my hometown
Illinois
I don't wanna quit now
I'm woken up
Let's do some more
You got any place to go?
(No!)
Good
