Chicago (That Toddlin’ Town)

1922 by Fred Fisher

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 down 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 home town
