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.....
