julie andrews - chicago illinois lyrics
norma
trendy trav’lers tend to talk
of london, paris, rome, new york,
like only they were stylish and unique.
but out in the midwest
is the city i love the best:
a town so smart it’s spelling stars
with: c – h – i – c…chic!
chicago, illinois, is like a shiny toy.
the prairie state is proud to sate
that it’s its pride and joy.
the windy city sweeps ya clean off ya feet;
pow!
its charm is complete;
pow!
they’re knockin’ ya flat, this way or that
on ev’ry downtown street.
pow!
the white sox and the cubs
and other sporting clubs
make living here a pretty nifty ploy.
smack on the lake, this is the report!
someday, they say, we’ll have an airport!
when they say: “hey, i’m from chi!”,
they mean chicago, il-li-nois!
chorus
chicago, illinois, is like a shiny toy.
the prairie state is proud to sate
that it’s its pride and joy.
the windy city sweeps ya clean off ya feet;
its charm is complete;
they’re knockin’ ya flat, this way or that
on ev’ry downtown street.
the white sox and the cubs
and other sporting clubs
make living here a pretty nifty ploy.
smack on the lake, this is the report!
someday, they say, we’ll have an airport!
when they say: “hey, i’m from chi!”,
they mean chicago, il-li…
chicago is the killer.
they mean chicago, illi…
c-h-i-c-a-g-o, illinois!
yay!
