It sounds like corn but I was born in Hollywood
And Hollywood sure means a lot to me
While it's been praised, I'm amazed by Hollywood
But there's a town where I would rather be

Gee, it's my kind of town
Chicago is my kind of town
Chicago is my kind of people too
People who smile at you

And each time I roam
Chicago is calling me home
Chicago is one town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town
My kind of razz-ma-tazz
And it has Mr Cali's Jazz

And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
It makes me smile like a clown
It's my kind of town

My kind of town was Hollywood
My kind of town was Hollywood
It's yesterday's unknowns
Agent's phones, Allen Jones
But each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
Those two marinas, Chicago is
Hugh Hefner's Playboy, Chicago is
The famous [?] room, Chicago is
Bourbon Street's jazz band
Chicago is one town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town
