LAmDm LAm
The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight,
REm DO
And lovers a'gazin' at stars;
REmAm REmAm
The stores are all closin', and Daley is dozin',
REm MIm
And the fat man is counting the cars...
LAm REm LAm
And there's more cars than places to put 'em, he says,
REm DO
But I've got room for them all;
REm LAm REm LAm
So 'round 'em up boys, 'cause I want some more toys,
REm MIm
In the lot by the grocery store...
Chorus
LAm MIm REm LAm
To me, way, hey, tow them away,
REm DO
The Lincoln Park Pirates are we,
REm LAm REm LAm
From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy
REm MIm
And we always collect our fee!
LAm MIm REm LAm
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away,
REm DO
We plunder the streets of your town,
REm LAm REmAm
Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy,
MIm LAm
And no one can make us shut down.
We break into cars when we gotta,
With hammer and pickaxe and saw;
And they said this garage had no license;
But little care I for the law!
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 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.
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 nothin' 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!
