Lincoln Park Pirates Steve Goodman
[Am]The streetlamps are [E]on in Chi[Am]cago to[A7]night
And [Dm]lovers are [G]gazin? at [C]stars;[(F] [C)]
The [Fadd9]stores are all closin' and D[Am]aley is d[Am/G]ozin'
And the [Dm]fat man is [Dm7]counting the [E]cars...
And there's mo[Am]re cars than [E]places to [Am]put 'em, he [A7]says,
But [Dm]I've got [G]room for some [C]more;[(F] [C)]
So [Fadd9]round 'em up boys, 'cause I [Am]want some more toys,
Hit the [Dm]lot by the [Dm7]grocery [E]store...
Chorus:
To me, [Am]way, [E]hey, [E7]tow them [Am]awa[A7]y,
The [Dm]Lincoln Park [G]Pirates are [C]we.[(F] [C)]
From [F]Wilmette to [Am]Gary, there's [F]none that?s so [Am]hairy
And we a[Dm]lways coll[Dm7]ect our [E]fee!
So it's [Am]way, [E]hey, [E7]tow 'em [Am]awa[A7]y,
We [Dm]plunder the [G]streets of your [C]town,[(F] [C)]
Be it [F]Edsel or [Am]Chevy, there's [F]no car too [Am]heavy,
And [Dm]no one can [E]make us [Am]shut down.
We break into cars when we gotta
With pickaxe and hammer and saw;
And they say this garage had no license,
But little care I for the law.
All our 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 none that?s 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.
And when all the cars are collected
And all of their fenders are ruined,
Then I'll tow all the boats 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 none that?s so hairy
And we always collect our fee!
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away,
Now citizens, gather around,
And I think it's enough, let's call his bluff,
Let's throw the bum out of town!
