Lyrics Chicago, Illinois - Victor / Victoria Company, Lesley Ann Warren

Chicago, Illinois

Trendy travelers tend to talk
Of London, Paris, Rome, New York
Like only they were stylish and unique
But out in the Midwest
Is the city I love the best
A town so smart it’s spelling stars
With: C — H — I — C… Chic!
Chicago, Illinois, is like a shiny toy
The prairie State is proud to state
That it’s its pride and joy
The Windy City sweeps ya clean off ya feet;
POW!
Its charm is complete;
POW!
They’re knockin' ya flat, this way and that
On every downtown street
POW!
The White Sox and the Cubs
And other sporting clubs
Make living here a pretty nifty ploy
Smack on the lake, this is the report!
Someday, they say, we’ll have an airport!
When they say: «hey, I’m from Chi!»
They mean Chicago, Illinois!
Chicago, Illinois, is like a shiny toy
The prairie State is proud to state
That it’s its pride and joy
The Windy City sweeps ya clean off ya feet;
Its charm is complete;
They’re knockin' ya flat, this way and that
On every downtown street
The White Sox and the Cubs
And other sporting clubs
Make living here a pretty nifty ploy
Smack on the lake, this is the report!
Someday, they say, we’ll have an airport!
When they say: «hey, I’m from Chi!»
They mean Chicago, Illi…
Chicago is the killer
They mean Chicago, Illi…
C-H-I-C-A-G-O, Illinois!
