"it's 'shy'- short for chicago!"

In a nightclub in town, i would love to sit down
All the seats are taken, all the hearts are breaking
Have you been here before? got a boyfriend for sure
To chicago i'll go, friendly people i'm told

"how is you ain't cold? it's a windy city..."

Have a drink i'm payin', forget what i'm sayin'
Is the music too loud? or am i down and out?
Have you been to the states? was it well worth the wait?
Get a visa for work, send the checks back

When will we go to chicago? "it's 'shy'- short for chicago!"

No, i'm not on my own- i am waiting, i am waiting
No, i'm not on my own- i am waiting, i am waiting for someone (x2)

Where'd you get that money? not so sure it's funny
Pockets feel so empty, give the checks back

When will we go to chicago? "it's 'shy'- short for chicago!"

No, i'm not on my own- i am waiting, i am waiting for someone (x8)
I'm not on my own! i am waiting! i am waiting for someone! (x8)
