My Kind Of Town (Chicago is) – Frank Sinatra

July 8th, 2010 • Comments Off

Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratef’lly
As I throw each one of you a kiss


This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people, too
People who smile at you


And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
Why I just grin like a clown
It’s my kind of town


My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz


And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin’ my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Union Stockyard, Chicago is
One town that won’t let you down
It’s my kind of town

Another beautiful song which Frank Sinatra preformed was just called ‘Chicago’:

Chicago, Chicago–that toddlin’ town.
Chicago, Chicago–I will show you around. I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you’ll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The town that Billy Sunday couldn’t shut down.

On State Street, that great street, I’d just want to say -
They do things they don’t do on Broadway.
They have the time, the time of their life.
I saw a man, he danced with his wife.
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town.

Chicago, Chicago–that toddlin’ town.
Chicago, Chicago–I’ll show you around. I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you’ll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down.

On State Street that great street, I’d just like to say -
They do things that they never do on Broadway.
They have the time, the time of their life.
I saw a man, he danced with his wife.
In Chicago… Chicago… Chicago.
That’s my hometown!
