steve goodman - lincoln park pirates lyrics
in chicago where i live, there’s a… there’s a outfit that’ll tow just almost anything off the streets but they deal mostly in automobile. and we call ’em the lincoln park pirates-.
the street lamps are on in chicago tonite
and lovers are gazin at stars, the stores are all closin’
and daley is dozin’ and the fatman is counting the car;
there’s more cars than places to put ’em he said
but i got room for them all, so round ’em up boys
i want some more toys, hit the lot by the grocery store
(chorus)
to me
way hey tow’em away
the lincoln park pirates are we; from wilmette to gary
there’s none that so hairy and we always collect our fee
way-hey tow ’em away we plunder the streets of your town,
be it edsel or chevy, there’s no car to heavy
and no one can make us shut down.
we break into cars when we gotta
with pick axe and hammer and saw,
they said this garage had no license
but little care i for the law
all my drivers are freindly and courteous;
their good manners you always will get
for they all are recent graduates from the charm scholl in joliet
(chorus)
and when all of the cars are collected,
and all of their fenders are ruined
then i’ll tow every boat in belmont harbor to the licoln park lagoon
and when i’ve collected the ransom and sunk all the ones that won’t yield
then i’ll tow all the planes that are blocking the runways
at midway, o’hare and meigs field
to me
way hey tow’em away
the lincoln park pirates are we; from wilmette to gary
there’s none that so hairy and we always collect our fee
way hey, tow ’em away, — citizens gather around
i think its enough and lets call his bluff
yeah lets throw the b-m out of town.
o found on somebody elses trouble
o the original steve goodman
o the steve goodmann anthology
