Rufus Wainwright - Chicago lyrics

I got the surprise, the surprise of my life

I had to stop and stare

I saw a man dancing with his own wife

And you will never guess where

Chicago, Chicago

The toddlin' town, the toddlin' town

Chicago, Chicago

I'll see you around, I love it

Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago

The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

On State Street, that great street

I wish I could stay, I wish I could stay

They do things they don't do on Broadway, say

I had the time, the time of my life

I saw a man who danced with his wife

In Chicago, Chicago

Chicago, Chicago

Free and easy town, brassy, breezy town

Chicago, Chicago

Let me cool my heels right down at Marshall Field

Come and walk with me along the lake

To the great holler and hoot, all through the loop

Shout how now to Mrs. O'Leary's cow

No she-she, life is peachy

Chicago, we'll meet at the Pump Room, Ambassador East

To say the least, on shish kebab

And best of squad we will see, and yet please

Don't tell me sin is rampant and rife

Think of that man who danced with his wife

In Chicago, Chicago

I'm in this city, what a wonderful windy town
