Just Blew In From The Windy City Lyrics - Doris Day

I just blew in from the windy city 

The windy city is mighty pretty 

But they ain't got what we got, no sirree 

They've got shacks up to seven stories 

Never see any Morning Glory's 

But a step from our doorway 

We got 'em for free 

They've got those minstrel shows 

Pretty ladies in the big chateau's 

Private lawns, public parks 

For the sake of civic virtue 

They've got fountains there that squirt you 

I just blew in from the windy city 

The windy city is mighty pretty 

But they ain't got what we got 

I'm tellin' ya, boys 

We got more life in Deadwood City 

Than in all of Illinois 

You should-a seen me a-windo' shoppin' 

A-windo' shoppin' with eyes a-poppin' 

At the sights that you see there, yes sirree 

Press a bell and a moment later 

Up you go in an elevator 

Just as fast as a polecat a-climbin' a tree 

I heard claim hundreds came 

To a thing they call a baseball game 

Cigar stores, revolving doors 

They got new inventions coming 

'Stead of outdoor, indoor plumbing 

I just blew in from the windy city 

The windy city is mighty pretty 

But they ain't got what we got 

I'm tellin' ya, boys 

I ain't a-swappin' half of Deadwood 

For the whole of Illinois
