Hello Chicago
Time has sure flown by
You've been busy building buildings high into the sky
Hello Chicago
It's been awhile it's true
Since I street sang on Michigan Avenue
I could climb the Sears Towers
Stare at the sky for hours
Or drink a few beers
At the neighborhood Cheers
And on St. Patrick's Day
You'll think you're seeing things
But your eyes don't lie they really dye the entire river green
Hello Chicago
Time has sure flown by
You've been busy building buildings high into the sky
Hello Chicago
It's been awhile it's true
Since I street sang on Michigan Avenue.
This song is not complete if I fail to mention
It's the perfect condition for breeding politicians.
There's one that's in the ditch
Named Blagojevich.
A controversy stirs us
When we mention Roland Burris
But there are oh so many distinguished residents,
like Oprah and the current President.
Hello Chicago
Time has sure flown by
You've been busy building buildings high into the sky
Hello Chicago
It's been awhile it's true
Since I street sang on Michigan Avenue.
I have an idea
I think it's ideal
Let's hit some balls with Ernie Banks down at Wrigley Field
Hello Chicago
Time has sure flown by
You've been busy building buildings high into the sky
Hello Chicago
It's been awhile it's true
Since I street sang on Michigan Avenue.
