My kind of town, Chicago
is my kind of town, Chicago is,
My kind of people too, people
who smile at you and
Each time I roam, Chicago
is, calling me home, Chicago is,
One town that won't let
you down, it's my kind of town.
This is my kind of town,
Chicago is, my kind of town, Chicago is,
My kind of Razzmatazz, and
it has, that there jazz, and
Each time I leave, Chicago
is, tugging my sleeve, Chicago is,
The Wrigley Building, Chicago
is, the windy city, Chicago is,
The Hancock Building, Chicago
is, Comiskey Ball Park, Chicago is
One town that won't let
you down, it's my kind of town.
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin'
town, that toddlin' town.
Chicago, Chicago, I'll show
you around, I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you'll
lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The folks who visit want
to settle down.
On State Street, that great
street, I just want to say, I just want to say.
They do things they don't
do on Broadway, say...
They have the time, the
time of their life,
Bring all your kids, your
friends, and your wife to
Chicago, Chicago, my hometown.
One dark night, when we were
all in bed.
Old Lady Leary lit a lantern
in the shed.
Cow kicked it over, winked
her eye and said.
There'll be a hot time in
the old town tonight...fire, fire, fire!
Let's go back to a very important
date. 1871
October 8, when The Great
Fire...
sealed Chicago's fate.
There'll be a hot time in
the old town tonight...fire, fire, fire.
Take a walk to old DeKoven
Street.
As the town prepares to
go to sleep.
Ms. O'Leary's cow turns
up the heat.
There'll be a hot time in
the old town tonight...fire, fire, fire.
The fire raged for almost
two whole days.
Four square miles ignited
all ablaze.
One hundred thousand lives
in disarray.
Yes, it's a hot time in
the old town tonight...fire, fire, fire.
One dark night, when we were
all in bed.
Old Lady Leary lit a lantern
in the shed.
Cow kicked it over, winked
her eye and said.
There'll be a hot time in
the old town tonight...fire, fire, fire!
We come for many reasons,
leaving families behind.
The future is a mystery,
not knowing what we'll find.
Oppression, persecution,
and economic strife
have brought us to Chicago
to find a better life.
Here from the beginning and
arriving ever since,
we make this city stronger.
We are the immigrants.
We are here Chicago, for
better or for worse,
from many different continents,
we're culturally diverse.
From near and far we travel,
so many miles we roam,
With hope, we're here intending,
to make Chicago home.
Here from the beginning and
arriving ever since,
we make this city stronger.
We are the immigrants.
Immigration and migration
can be filled with deep frustration,
because discrimination can
ruin all our job.
We take this opportunity
to build a strong community.
On faith, and love, and
unity, Chicago, Illinois.
Life is never easy, we think
what might have been.
We must retain our culture,
at the same time fitting in.
But long ago, so loud and
clear, we heard your siren's call...
Chicago with your promises
of liberty for all.
Here from the beginning and
arriving ever since,
we make this city stronger.
We are the immigrants.
Here from the beginning
and arriving ever since,
we make this city stronger,
stronger, stronger.
We are the immigrants.
We are the immigrants.
When you're alone
and life is making you lonely
you can always go,
Downtown.
\When you've got worries
all the noise and the hurry
seems to help I know,
Downtown.
Just listen to the music
of the traffic in the city.
Linger on the sidewalk
where the neon signs are pretty.
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there,
you can forget all your troubles,
forget all your cares and go,
Downtown.
Things will be great when you're,
Downtown.
No finer place for sure,
Downtown.
Everythings waiting for you.
Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown,
downtown, downtown.
So come on, baby don't you want to go?
So come on, baby don't you want to
go?
To that same old place, sweet home
Chicago.
