(A satire on Mayor Daley's overzeallous police, provoking riots during the Democratic National Convention, Chicago IL, Aug 1968)
Well have you heard the daily news
Mr Goody Good Gum Shoe
He had to hurt a few
Just to keep the windy pretty
Big shouldered stocky yard dogs
Are gnawing on the photogs
But it's such an unconventional friendly city
Sweet home Chicago
Sweet home Chicago
Sweet home Chicago
Yes, and I may never go home no more
They hit 'em low
And stack 'em high
Stand around and watch 'em fry
They got to clean up the student bodies
Way down in Mexico
Hey Man
Here's what you do
You got to see Chicago zoo
They got the flying northern redneck
And the goosestep point of view
Sweet home Chicago
Sweet home Chicago
Sweet home Chicago
And darlin' I may never go home no more
