Lincoln Park Pirates
The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight,
And lovers are gazing at stars.
The stores are all closin', and Daley is dozin',
And the fat man is countin' the cars.
"And there's more cars than places to put 'em", he says,
"But I've got room for them all.
So round them up, boys, 'cause I want some more toys,
Hit the lot by the grocery store."
T'me, weigh, hey, tow them away, the Lincoln Park Pirates are we.
From Wilmot to Gary, there's no one so hairy, and we always collect our fee.
T'me, weigh, hey, tow them away, we'll 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.
We break into cars when we gotta,
With pickaxe and hammer and saw;
They say this garage has no license,
But little care I for the law, Oh
Our drivers are friendly and courteous;
Good manners you always will get
For they all are recent graduates
Of the charm school at Joliet.
Repeat Chorus
And when all the cars are collected,
And all of their fenders are ruined,
Then we'll tow every boat in Belmont Harbor
To the Lincoln Park Lagoon.
And when we've collected the ransom,
And sunk all the ones that won't yeild,
Then we'll tow all the planes that are blocking the runways
At Midway, O'Hare, and Mig's Field.
Repeat Chorus
