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
