[Intro: Robert Lamm]
Hey, hey
I do, ohh...

[Verse 1: Robert Lamm (Bandmates)]
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around, yeah (You'll stay around)
Bet your bottom dollar you 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
(Ooh) 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)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]
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 hometown, yeah
