room 57 in the midnight hour
I'm fresh out of coffee and the cream turned sour
I'm thinkin' 'bout the people I've been talkin' to
been here a long time and nobody knew
ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city

what a shame, what a shame (2x)

good music on the radio
a whole lotta people don't wanna know
they say that black is black and white is white
you can't cross over 'cause it don't seem right
ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city

what a shame, what a shame (2x)

ain't it shame, ain't it a pity
the bluebird's gone from the windy city

what a shame, what a shame (2x)
