Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town |
Chicago, Chicago, I’ll show you around |
Bet your bottom dollar you’ll lose the blues in Chicago |
Chicago, the town that *Mart Faye* could not shut down |
On State Street, that great street |
I just want to say |
They do things that 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, my home town |
They have the time, the time of their life |
I saw a man, he danced with his wife |
In Chicago |
In Chicago |
In Chicago |
TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: Original lyrics indicate that *Billy Sunday *, the |
evangelist, could not close Chicago down-after all, it WAS Capone’s town!!. |
Marty |
Faye was a Chicago radio DJ and TV talk show host from the 40/50/60s. |
He was |
known for his abrasive style and voice. |
If you ever heard him, you wouldn’t be likely |
to forget him, though you might try to, very hard. |
