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

Have a drink I'm paying
Forget what I'm saying
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 cheques back

When will we go to 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

Where'd you get that money?
Not so sure it's funny
Pockets feel so empty
Give the cheques back

When will we go to Chicago?
