Just Blew In From The Windy City lyrics

I just blew in from the windy city
The windy city is mighty pretty
But they ain`t got what we got, no sirree
They`ve got shacks up to seven stories
Never see any Morning Glory`s
But a step from our doorway
We got `em for free

They`ve got those minstrel shows
Pretty ladies in the big chateau`s
Private lawns, public parks
For the sake of civic virtue
They`ve got fountains there that squirt you

I just blew in from the windy city
The windy city is mighty pretty
But they ain`t got what we got
I`m tellin` ya, boys
We got more life in Deadwood City
Than in all of Illinois

You should-a seen me a-windo` shoppin`
A-windo` shoppin` with eyes a-poppin`
At the sights that you see there, yes sirree
Press a bell and a moment later
Up you go in an elevator
Just as fast as a polecat a-climbin` a tree

I heard claim hundreds came
To a thing they call a baseball game
Cigar stores, revolving doors
They got new inventions coming
`Stead of outdoor, indoor plumbing

I just blew in from the windy city
The windy city is mighty pretty
But they ain`t got what we got
I`m tellin` ya, boys
I ain`t a-swappin` half of Deadwood
For the whole of Illinois
