Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 really Sunday couldn't shut down
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have a time, the time of their life
I saw a man who danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago my hometown
Chicago, Chicago
That toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago
I will show you around
I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues
I Chicago, Chicago
The town that really Sunday couldn't shut down
On State Street that great street I just want to say
They do things that they don't do on Broadway
They have the time the time of their life
I saw a man who danced with his wife
I Chicago, Chicago, Chicago that's my hometown!
