Frank Sinatra - Chicago...I do not own the rights to this song. Lyrics Chicago, Chicago--that toddlin' 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 couldn't shut down. On State Street, that great street, I'd 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 home town. Chicago, Chicago--that toddlin' town. Chicago, Chicago--I'll 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. On State Street that great street, I'd just like to say - They do things that they never do on Broadway. They have the time, the time of their life. I saw a man, he danced with his wife. In Chicago... Chicago... Chicago. That's my hometown!
