So long toots, bound for chicago, it`s been swell
You got your hooks into me mamma, 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
It just as might as well be morocco or pakistan
Tonight is new year`s eve, but there`s nothin` up my sleeve
But a place to play where all the people swing around
They made a member of me
So long toots, bound for chicago now
So long toots, bound for chicago, it`s all right
I can`t stay as long as i oughtta, it`s almost light
And that`s the final star, and you`ve been the best so far
But you`re sleepin` all alone in that big sky
