Summertime in Chicago City and I’ll head to the beach where the girls are pretty
Bikinis go on for days
Doin 65 down lake shore drive. Windows down, sun bouncin off the skyline
And we’re having the time of our lives In this sweet chicago summertime
Aint got no pickup truck, but I’ve got my uber cab
Aint got no hunting dog, but I’ll walk my poodle half lab
Aint got no critters to chase, but the rats make up for it
Aint got no dirt roads around here, but the alleys will do the trick,
It’s Wrigley Field and its’’a GO CUBS GO
It’s Margaritas on the Patio
Life is good I wouldn’t trade it even if I could
Summertime in Chicago City and I’ll head to the park where the girls are pretty
And the sundresses go on for days and days and days
Playin softball on a tuesday night. 16-inch and a case of bud light.
And we’re havin the time of our lives. In this sweet chicago summertime.
Aint got no mud on the tires, but I’ve got sand on my feet.
Ain;t got no farmers in the fields, but there’s festivals in the street.
You don’t hear much Garth Brooks round here, but Kanye’s on the radio.
Government is filled with crooks round here, but we all want to BRING THOSE TROOPS HOOOOME
It’s a walk along the lakeshore path
It’s a blanket spread on the Lincoln Park grass.
Life is good I wouldn’t change it if I could.
Sumertime in Chicago City head to Lollapalooza where the girls are pretty
And the high-wasted jeans go on for days and days and days
Dancin with your girl while the band plays underneath the windy city sundays
And we’re havin the time of our lives in the sweet Chicago summertime
Second City, Windy City, It’s the Summertime | and We’ll hop on the L Train, That’s the Red Line,
Now these ladies look fine from Howard to Dan Ryan, | and I’m spittin’ scorin home runs like I’m Kris Bryant.
It’s the Air & Water show and I see them jets flyin,| got them boats in the Playpen errrrr’one is tyin up,
Pour it up and drink it up 3-1-2, | as I’m sippin’ summer ales from the Revolution Brew,
And we’re gettin’ drunk, buzzed up, turnin’ sideways | sippin’ Skinny Girls at the Pride Parade.
Cuz the Chi is made of a widely arrayed maze and ways to spend Chicago summer days
Summertime in Chicago City and I’ll head to the beach where the girls are pretty
Bikinis go on for days
Doin 65 down lake shore drive. Windows down, sun bouncin off the skyline
And we’re having the time of our lives In this sweet chicago summertime
