Description
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin’ town
Chicago, Chicago, I’ll show you around (you’ll stay around)
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in
Chicago, Chicago, the folks who visit
All want to settle down. (all want to settle down in my hometown)
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say,
They do things they don’t do on Broadway,
You’ll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to
Chicago, Chicago my hometown. (Hey now baby)
(Oh baby)
You’ll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to
Chicago, Chicago my hometown.
Oh, to Chicago, Chicago my hometown (yeah)
Written in 1922 by Fred Fisher the song “Chicago” would be covered by a multitude of artists, but it would take Frank Sinatra in the 1957 movie “The Joker is Wild to make it truly famous. Here is an article from a 1997 titled A Toddlin Town Without A Clue, But Right Nonetheless trying to explain what Toddlin’ means.
All proceeds will be donated to Chicago's Cornerstone Community Outreach in honor of photographer Richard Cleis, 1965-2021.
