My Kind of Town, Chicago Is

[The Prof]

To be sung to the tune of the Sinatra classic, MY KIND OF TOWN.

Words and music (pre The euphonious Prof's updating) by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen.

My kind of town
Chicago is
My kind of town
Chicago is
My kind of pay for play
Everyday
And all the way
And each dead man's vote
Chicago is
Quite certain to note
Chicago is
One town that's all upside down
It's my kind of town

(Nelson Riddle's hot band here swings 12 bars of interlude, climbs a key, repeats 12 bars, then SHOUTS, while Frankie twirls his mike)

Every bit of it is...

My kind of town
Chicago is
My kind of town
Chicago is
Corruption, crime and graft
Fore and aft
While bosses laughed
And Daley's machine
Chicago is
It just won't come clean
Chicago is
The mobsters' shoulders
Chicago is
The pension holders
Chicago is
Obama's windy home town
It's my...
All of it is my...
My kind of town
Chi-ca-go!
It's all go!
Rod Bla-go!
My kind
Of town
Chicago!

LOL!
