| 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. |
