bis - chicago lyrics

chicago (that toddling town)
tony bennett
written by fred fisher

– from his “strike up the band” lp with count basie: roulette 25231
– this version did not chart but
in 1922, two versions were charted: ben selvin (# 5) and the bar harbor society
orchestra (# 13)
– in 1957, frank sinatra brought it back to # 84

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

transcriber’s note: original lyrics indicate that -billy sunday -, the
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.
