Transcription

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around
(You'll stay around)
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
Chicago
The folks who visit all wanna settle down
(All wanna settle, in my hometown)

On State Street, that great street, I just wanna say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
You'll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to Chicago
Chicago, my hometown

(Hey, now baby)

(Ooh baby) You'll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to Chicago
Chicago my hometown
Oh, to Chicago, Chicago my hometown
(yeah)
