Debbie Shapiro Gravitte & Original Studio Cast of Calamity Jane - Just Blew in the Windy City

{CALAMITY}
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 got shacks up to seven storeys
They never see any morning glories
But a step from our doorway
We got 'em for free!

They got those minstrel shows
Pretty ladies in their big chapeaux
Private lawns, public parks
For the sake of civic virtue
They've got fountains there to squirt you

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've got more lifе in Deadwood City
Than in all of Illinois!

{Chorus}
Just blew in from the Windy City
Thе Windy City is mighty pretty
But they ain't got what we got
No, sirree!
They got shacks up to seven storeys
They never see any morning glories
But a step from our doorway
We got 'em for free!

{MEN}
They got those minstrel shows

{WOMEN}
Pretty ladies in their big chapeaux

{MEN}
Private lawns, public parks

{CALAMITY}
For the sake of civic virtue
They've got fountains there to squirt you!

{Chorus}
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've got more life in Deadwood City
Than in all of Illinois!

{CALAMITY JANE}
On the street was a dancin' feller
All dressed up in a suit of yeller
And the dance he did there
Went something like this...

{Instrumental}

{CALAMITY & CHORUS}
Should a-seen me a-winder-shoppin' (Windy City...)
A-winder-shoppin' with eyes a-poppin'
At the sights you see there (Windy City...)

{CALAMITY}
Yes, sirree!

{Chorus}
Yes, sirree!

{CALAMITY & CHORUS}
Press a bell and a moment later (Winder shoppin'... )
Up you go in an elevator
Just as fast as a pole cat (Elevator...)
A-climbin' a tree! (Look at 'er go!)

{CALAMITY}
I heard claim—

{Chorus}
Yeah?

{CALAMITY}
Hundreds came

{Chorus}
When?

{CALAMITY}
To a thing they call a baseball game!

{Chorus}
No!

{CALAMITY}
Seegar stores
Revolving doors

{CALAMITY}
They got new inventions comin’ (Ah... Ah...)
'Stead of outdoor... indoor plumbin'! (Ah... Ah...)

{CALAMITY & CHORUS}
Just blew in from the Windy City (Windy City...)
The Windy City is mighty pretty
But they ain't got what we got (Windy City...)

{CALAMITY & Chorus}
I'm tellin' ya, boys!
I ain't a-swappin' half of Deadwood
For the whole of Illinois!
YEOW!
