Chicago (That Toddling Town) Tony Bennett - from his "Strike Up the Band" LP with Count Basie: Roulette 25231 - This version did not chart but In 1922, two versions were charted: Ben Selvin (# 5) and the Bar Harbor Society Orchestra (# 13) - In 1957, Frank Sinatra brought it back to # 84 Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago Chicago, the town that *Mart Faye* could not shut down On State Street, that great street I just want to say They do things that they don't do on Broadway, say They have the time, the time of their life I saw a man, he danced with his wife In Chicago, my home town They have the time, the time of their life I saw a man, he danced with his wife In Chicago In Chicago In Chicago TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Original lyrics indicate that *Billy Sunday *, the evangelist, could not close Chicago down-after all, it WAS Capone's town!. Marty Faye was a Chicago radio DJ and TV talk show host from the 40/50/60s. He was known for his abrasive style and voice. If you ever heard him, you wouldn't be likely to forget him, though you might try to, very hard.
