A5                   E5       A5     
The street lamps are on in Chicago tonite 
    F5          G5        A5          
and lovers are gazin at stars,  
    F5 
the stores are all closin' 
    A5                      E5                     E5 
and Daley is dozin' and the fatman is counting the cars; 
        A5             E5        A5 
There's more cars than places to put 'em he said 
    F5     G5             A5      F5 
but I got room for them all, so round 'em up boys 
  A5                           E5                 E5 
I want some more toys, hit the lot by the grocery store

WAY HEY TOW'EM AWAY 
    F5            G5           A5       
The Lincoln Park pirates are we;  
     F5           A5 
from Wilmette to Gary 
        F5            A5           
There's none that so heavy  
       E5                 E5 
and we always collect our fee 
A5      G5       A5       
WAY-HEY tow 'em away  
   F5           G5               A5 
we plunder the streets of your town, 
      F5        A5             F5         A5 
be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy 
    E5                      A5 
And no one can make us shut down. 
 
Verse 2 
 

A5            E5           A5    
We break into cars when we gotta 
     F5            G5          A5 
with pick axe and hammer and saw, 
     F5                      A5 
they say this garage has no license 
    E5                    E5 
but little care I for the law 
       A5          E5           A5 
all my drivers are friendly and courteous; 
           F5           G5           A5 
their good manners you always will get 
          F5             A5                 E5              E5 
for they all are recent graduates from the charm scholl in Joliet 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 3 
    A5              E5       A5 
And when all of the cars are collected, 
    F5            G5           A5 
and all of their fenders are ruined 
          F5                 A5                    E5           E5 
then I'll tow every boat in belmont harbor to the Lincoln park Lagoon 
    A5        E5            A5         
and when I've collected the ransom  
    F5            G5               A5 
and sunk all the ones that won't yield 
          F5                           A5 
then i'll tow all the planes that are blocking the runways 
   E5                 E5 
at midway, O'Hare and Meigs Field 
 
--to me | --
