Chicago, Chicago That Toddling Town

Chicago, Chicago that toddling town 
Chicago, Chicago I will show you around - I love it 
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago 
The town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down 

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 home town 

Published in 1922. Recorded by Sinatra in 1957, and used in his film, The Joker Is Wild.
