Just Blew in From the Windy City

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I just blew in from the windy city The windy city is mighty purty But they ain't got what we got No, sirree [Verse 2] They've got shacks up to seven stories Never see any morning glories But a step from our doorway We got 'em for free [Chorus 1] They've got those minstrel shows Purty ladies in the big chapeaus Private lawns, public parks For the sake of civic virtue They've got fountains there that squirt you [Verse 3] I just blew in from the windy city The windy city is mighty purty But they ain't got what we got I'm tellin' ya, boys We got more life in Deadwood City Than in all of Illinois [Instrumental] [Verse 4] You should-a seen me a-winder shoppin' A-winder shoppin' with eyes a-poppin' At the sights that you see there, yes sirree Press a bell and a moment later Up you go in an elevator Just as fast as a polecat a-climbin' a tree [Chorus 2] I heard claim hundreds came To a thing they call a baseball game Cigar stores, revolving doors They've got new inventions coming 'Stead of outdoor, indoor plumbing [Verse 5] I just blew in from the windy city The windy city is mighty purty But they ain't got what we got I'm tellin' ya, boys I ain't a-swappin' half of Deadwood For the whole of Illinois
