[Verse 1]
Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town
Chicago, Chicago, I will show you around, I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

[Chorus]
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, my hometown

[Chorus]
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago I'll show you around, I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

[Verse 2]
On State Street, that great street, I just wanna say
They do things that they never do on Broadway, say
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man and he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, Chicago
That's my hometown
