Chicago Style Songtext
von Revival

Say, who′s that coming down the thoroughfare?
Who's there? The sunshine′s flashing on his ring
On his ring

Why, look at him bowing left and right
And here and there and there
That's Chester, the trombone king
How he plays that thing

He gets his shirts straight from Paris
Cigarettes from the Nile
He talks like a highbrow
But he plays Chicago style
He gets his shoes made in London
And they're real crocodile
But he plays trombone Chicago style
And he sometimes plays sweet, so sweet
But sweet or hot, he′s always got
That real gut-bugging beat


He′s got a neat Latin mustache
And the girls love his smile
But he plays trombone Chicago style

A trombone made in Munich
Played in Chicago style

Neckties from Naples
Socks from Argyle
Speaks a serving dish
Played Chicago style

Stick pin from Rio
You can see for a mile
But he plays trombone

And he sometimes plays sweet
But sweet or hot, he's always got
That real gut-bugging beat

He likes New York for the opera
And gets two on the aisle
But he plays trombone Chicago style


A trombone made in Bavaria
A very, very nice area
Which is neither here nor there, euh
When it′s played Chicago style
Chicago style
