"Chicago" lyrics

Tony Bennett & The Count Basie Orchestra Lyrics

"Chicago"

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

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
