For a contest on why Chicago should hold the 2016 Olympics. I don’t know why, but when I uploaded it onto youtube, the editing got off.
Lyrics:
Chorus
It’s my kind of town, my kind of town
The Windy City blows my feet right off the ground
With the Olympics in mind come 2016
Chicago better be the place where the games convene
Verse 1
The heart of the city starts with the common folk, They brighten up your day with just a single joke, Let me tell you about the fans gathering out at Wrigley Field, Their accents so thick, their spirit’s unconcealed, From the north side to the south, they’re vibrant and they’re warm, And, man, so many people there know how to perform, It’s a thing of beauty really when a city’s so cherished, That on a day off everybody acts like Ferris (Bueller), Second comes the culture, enamored in athletics, Everywhere you turn, there’s something in kinetics, From the Bears to the Bulls, there’s a spirit so varied, Embodied by the voice of the beloved Harry Caray, As Obama says the city’s unity is stellar, I don’t know about you, but I trust that fella, So come on Games Committee, it’s time you start asserting, There’s no city like Chicago that is anymore deserving
Chorus
Verse 2
In addition to its culture, Chi-City’s so amusing, Just the Lincoln Park Zoo is enough to keep me cruising, From the Taste of Chicago to Millenium Park, There’s no city I’ve been to that carries so much spark, And the ways to get around, man, there’s Union Station, You can make it to the pier without any hesitation, With so many people, the city’s always stayed progressive, Just another reason why the city’s so impressive, Moving on to food, well I’ve never eaten greater, When I come to Giordano’s, I love all the waiters, Billy Goat Tavern made cheeseburgers famous (Belushi), And Skando Chicago makes the best tasting danish, When I’m looking for some spice, I just check out Klay Oven, I head to Lou Mitchell’s if I want a good muffin, Yeah, come on Games Committee, this city’s got allure, This pick should be easy, Chicago’s ready, I assure
Chorus
