Song Lyrics: |
In Chicago, where I live, there's a...there's an outfit that'd tow almost anything off the street. They deal mostly with automobiles and we call them the Lincoln Park Pirates...
The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight And lovers a'gazin' at stars The stores are all closin', and Daley is dozin' And the fat man is counting the cars And there's more cars than places to put 'em, he said But I've got room for them all So 'round 'em up boys, 'cause I want some more toys In the lot by the grocery store
To me, way, hey, tow them away The Lincoln Park Pirates are we From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy And we always collect our fee! So it's way, hey, tow 'em away We plunder the streets of your town Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy And no one can make us shut down
We break into cars when we gotta With pickaxe and hammer and saw And they said this garage had no license But little care I for the law! All my drivers are friendly and courteous Their good manners you always will get 'Cause they all are recent graduates Of the charm school in Joliet
To me, way, hey, tow them away The Lincoln Park Pirates are we From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy And we always collect our fee! To me, way, hey, tow 'em away We plunder the streets of your town Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy And no one can make us shut down
And when all the cars are collected And all of their fenders are ruined Then I'll tow every boat in Belmont Harbor To the Lincoln Park Lagoon And when I've collected the ransom And sunk all the ones that won't yield I'll tow all the planes that are blocking the runways At Midway, O'Hare, and Meigs Field
To me, way, hey, tow them away The Lincoln Park Pirates are we From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy We always collect our fee! To me, way, hey, tow 'em away Now citizens, gather around And I think it's enough, and let's call his bluff Let's tow the bum out of town! (Stavro Arrgolus) |
