Lyrics
Come on
Oh baby don't you wanna go
Come on
Oh baby don't you wanna go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago
Come on
Baby don't you wanna go
Hidehey
Baby dont you wanna go
Back to that same old place
Oh sweet home Chicago
Well, one and one is two
Six and two is eight
Come on baby don't ya make me late
Hidehey
Baby dont you wanna go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago
Come on
Baby don't you wanna go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago
Six and three is nine
Nine and nine is eighteen
Look there brother baby and see what Ive seen
Hidehey
Baby don't you wanna go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago
Oh come on Baby don't you wanna go Come on Baby don't you wanna go Back to that same old place Sweet home Chicago
