Lyrics

I just blew in from the windy city
The windy city is mighty purty
But they ain't got what we got
No sirree
They got shacks up to seven stories
Never see any morning glories
But a step from our doorway
We got 'em for free
They got those minstrel shows
Purty ladies in the big chapeaus
Private lawns, public parks
For the sake of civic virtue
They've got fountains there that squirt you
I just blew in from the windy city
The windy city is mighty purty
But they ain't got what we got
I'm tellin' you boys
We got more life in Deadwood City
Than in all of Illinois
You shoulda seen me a-winder shoppin'
A-winder shoppin' with eyes a-poppin'
At the sights that you see there
Yes sirree
Press a bell and a moment later
Up you go in an elevator
Just as fast as a polecat
A-climbin' a tree
I heard claim hundreds came
To a thing they call a baseball game
Cigar stores, revolving doors
They got new inventions coming
'Stead of outdoor, indoor plumbing
I just blew in from the windy city
The windy city is mighty purty
But they ain't got what we got
I'm tellin' you boys
I ain't a-swappin' half of Deadwood
For the whole of Illinois
