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 wanna, 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
So long Toots (bound for Chicago!) So long Toots (bound for Chicago!) So long Toots, bound for Chicago now
