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.
