[Verse 1]

Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town

Chicago, Chicago, I will show you around, I love it

Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago

The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

[Chorus]

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say

They do things they don't do on Broadway

They have the time, the time of their life

I saw a man, he danced with his wife

In Chicago, Chicago, my hometown

[Chorus]

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town

Chicago, Chicago I'll show you around, I love it

Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago

The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

[Verse 2]

On State Street, that great street, I just wanna say

They do things that they never do on Broadway, say

They have the time, the time of their life

I saw a man and he danced with his wife

In Chicago, Chicago, Chicago

That's my hometown
