DH knows all the words to The Night Chicago Died

[DawgHouse]

Not only that, he LOVES the song. After eight years, you'd think you know someone!

1. Well, I guess there are worse things that he could spring on you.

Now, shock the hell out of him by singing along:

The Night Chicago Died
( Paper Lace )

Daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago
Back in the U.S.A. back in the bad old days

In the heat of a summer night
In the land of the dollar bill
When the town of Chicago died
And they talk about it still

When a man named Al Capone
Tried to make that town his own
And he called his gang to war
With the forces of the law

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!

And the sound of the battle rang
Through the streets of the old east side
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang
Had surrendered up or died

There was shouting in the street
And the sound of running feet
And I asked someone who said
"'Bout a hundred cops are dead!"

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!

And ther was no sound at all
But the clock upon the wall ......
Then the door burst open wide
And my daddy stepped inside
And he kissed my mama's face
And he brushed her tears away

The night Chicago died
(Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na)
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!

The night Chicago died
(Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na)
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!

2. He's singing along with the karoke machine now.

It's pretty friggin' funny, actually. He's my rock star ;)

[Bunny]

3. Well, get in there and sing with him!

Now, THAT would be funny! :rofl:

On edit, I remember this song from high school - seeing anyone singing along with it would be hilarious!

4. He knows nothing about good music.

Can you believe he hates "Midnight at the Oasis"? :) That's the one I'm going to dedicate to him!

5. Ooh that's a good one - he'll like it!
