Chicago - Count Basie

Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town

Chicago, Chicago, I’ll show you around, I love it

Bet your bottom dollar, you’ll lose the blues in Chicago

Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday couldn’t shut down

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say

They do things that they don’t do on Broadway

They have the time, the time of their life

I saw a man, he danced with his wife in Chicago

Chicago, my home town

Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town

Chicago, Chicago, I’ll show you around, I love it

Bet your bottom dollar, you’ll lose the blues in Chicago

Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say

They do things that they never 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, Chicago that’s my home town
