Chicago,  Chicago,  That toddl'ing town,  toddl'ing town,
Chicago,  Chicago,  I'll show you around,  I love it,
Betch your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago,  Chicago,
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down.
On State Street,  That great street,  I just wanna say,  just wanna say,
They do things 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,  Chicago,  My home town.
