Lyrics
Chorus
Chicago, Chicago, that toddl’ing town, toddl’ing town
Chicago, Chicago, I’ll show you around, I love it
Betch your bottom dollar you 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, just want to say
They do things they don’t do on Broadway, say
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town
Patter
In “College Inn” you get the real beer in a glass
In that college from Professor’s, you learn to jazz
More colored people up in State Street you can see
Than you’ll see in Louisianna, or Tennessee
They’ve got the “Stock Yards”, so I heard the people say
I just got wind of it today, today
