[Verse 1] Chicago gets along so well without me Though Id go to Indiana for a while The wind comes off the lakes so cold it freezes Chicago Didnt try to make me smile She told me that she was a Spanish gypsy A black band round her neck to prove her race She said shed like to do some drinking with me But the dishes were all dirty at her place [Chorus] Id like to know and understand your people But I cant meet em all you understand All I really know about Chicago is That I learned from Windy City Anne [Verse 2] I guess she taught me some about Chicago There were lines of discontent there in her face For what she helped me know about Chicago I helped her do the dishes at her place The sounds of old Chicago through the windows I gathered up my thoughts to meet the day I stayed and helped her dirty up the dishes Rememberin I found them all that way [Chorus] [Verse 3] The bus pulled out to Fort Wayne Indiana Chicago slowly faded out of sight I suppose the people are just people It was just another Windy City night [Chorus] [Outro] Now I learned a lot from Windy City Anne
