 Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town 

 Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around 

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

 Chicago, the town that *Mart Faye* could not shut down 

  

 On State Street, that great street 

 I just want to say 

 They do things that 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, my home town 

  

 They have the time, the time of their life 

 I saw a man, he danced with his wife 

 In Chicago 

 In Chicago 

 In Chicago TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Original lyrics indicate that *Billy
Sunday *, the 

 evangelist, could not close Chicago down-after all, it WAS Capone's town!!.
Marty 

 Faye was a Chicago radio DJ and TV talk show host from the 40/50/60s. He was


 known for his abrasive style and voice. If you ever heard him, you wouldn't be
likely 

 to forget him, though you might try to, very hard
