Karaoké Chicago, Illinois Victor / Victoria (1982 film) (Lesley Ann Warren)

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 you clean off you feet, oh

It's charm is complete, aoh they're knockin' you flat this way and that on every downtown street

Whoa 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 oh, oh

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 you clean off you feet, oh

Its charm is complete they're knockin' you flat this way and that on every downtown street

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, Illi...

Chicago is the killer

They mean Chicago, Illi...

C.H.I.C.A.G.O, Illinois, uh
