They have the time, the time of their life
Chicago, Chicago that's my home town
They do things that they never do on Broadway, say
They have the time, the time of their life
Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down
Bet your bottom dollar, you'll lose the blues in Chicago
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around, I love it

I saw a man and he danced with his wife in Chicago
They do things that they don't do on Broadway
Chicago, my home town

Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town
I saw a man, he danced with his wife in Chicago
Bet your bottom dollar, you'll lose the blues in Chicago
