My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people, too
People who smile at you
And each time I roam, Chicago is

Why I just grin like a clown
It's my kind of town
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz
And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is

The Union Stockyard, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
