Trendy travelers 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 state
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 and that
On every 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, Illinois!

They mean Chicago, Illi...
Chicago is the killer
They mean Chicago, Illi...
C-H-I-C-A-G-O, Illinois!
