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
