So long toots
Bound for Chicago it's been swell
You got your hooks
Into me momma
You know damn well
You know i gotta leave
Before you're up a tree
And our good thing comes crashin to the ground

So long toots
Bound for Chicago it's been grand
The distance might as well be Morocco or Pakistan
Tonight is New Year's Eve
But theres nothin up my sleeve
But a place to play where the people all swing around
They made a member of me
So long toots
Bound for Chicago now...

So long toots
bound for Chicago it's alright
I can't stay as long as i oughta
It's almost light
And that's the final star
And it's been the best so far
But he's sleeping all alone in that big sky

So long toots (BOUND FOR CHICAGO)
So long toots (BOUND FOR CHICAGO)
So long toots bound for Chicago now.....
