I just flew in from the windy city
the windy city is mighty purdy
but they aint got what we got
no sir e
They got shacks up to seven stories
Never see any more the glories
But a step from our doorway
We got em for free
Theyve got those minstrel shows
purdy ladys in the big chapos
private lawns
public parks
for the sake of civic virtue
they've got fountains there that squirt you
I just flew in from the windy city
The windy city is mighty purdy
But they aint got what we got
Im tellin you boys
We got more life in Deadwood city than the whole of Ilanoy
On the street was a dancing fella
all dressed up in a suit a yella
and the dance that he did there
went something like this.
( does a dance)
Calamity . Whistle
(men start to whistle)
Calamity. More
(they whistle more)
(Calamity does a tap dance)
U shoulda seen me a window shopping
window shopping with eyes a popping
at the sites that u see there
yes sir e
press a bell and a moment later
up u go in an elevator
just as fast as a polecat a climbing a tree
i heard claim hundreds came
to a thing they call a baseball game
Seaguard stores revolving doors
Men wear sideburns and they aughta
cause a haircut costs a quarter
I just flew in from the windy city
the windy city is mighty purdy
But they aint got what we got
I'm telin you boys
I aint a swopping half a deadwood
for the whole of illanoy
