Lyrics

[CALAMITY] I just blew in from the Windy City The Windy City is mighty pretty But they ain't got what we got No, sirree! They got shacks up to seven storeys They never see any morning glories But a step from our doorway We got 'em for free! They got those minstrel shows Pretty ladies in their big chapeaux Private lawns, public parks For the sake of civic virtue They've got fountains there to squirt you Just blew in from the Windy City The Windy City is mighty pretty But they ain't got what we got I'm tellin' ya, boys! We've got more lifе in Deadwood City Than in all of Illinois! [Chorus] Just blew in from the Windy City Thе Windy City is mighty pretty But they ain't got what we got No, sirree! They got shacks up to seven storeys They never see any morning glories But a step from our doorway We got 'em for free! [MEN] They got those minstrel shows [WOMEN] Pretty ladies in their big chapeaux [MEN] Private lawns, public parks [CALAMITY] For the sake of civic virtue They've got fountains there to squirt you! [Chorus] Just blew in from the Windy City The Windy City is mighty pretty But they ain't got what we got I'm tellin' ya, boys! We've got more life in Deadwood City Than in all of Illinois! [CALAMITY JANE] On the street was a dancin' feller All dressed up in a suit of yeller And the dance he did there Went something like this... [Instrumental] [CALAMITY & CHORUS] Should a-seen me a-winder-shoppin' (Windy City...) A-winder-shoppin' with eyes a-poppin' At the sights you see there (Windy City...) [CALAMITY] Yes, sirree! [Chorus] Yes, sirree! [CALAMITY & CHORUS] Press a bell and a moment later (Winder shoppin'... ) Up you go in an elevator Just as fast as a pole cat (Elevator...) A-climbin' a tree! (Look at 'er go!) [CALAMITY] I heard claim— [Chorus] Yeah? [CALAMITY] Hundreds came [Chorus] When? [CALAMITY] To a thing they call a baseball game! [Chorus] No! [CALAMITY] Seegar stores Revolving doors [CALAMITY] They got new inventions comin' (Ah... Ah...) 'Stead of outdoor... indoor plumbin'! (Ah... Ah...) [CALAMITY & CHORUS] Just blew in from the Windy City (Windy City...) The Windy City is mighty pretty But they ain't got what we got (Windy City...) [CALAMITY & Chorus] I'm tellin' ya, boys! I ain't a-swappin' half of Deadwood For the whole of Illinois! YEOW!
