AmThe streetlamps are Eon in ChiAmcago toA7night
Dm G C (F C)
And lovers are gazin' at stars;
The Fadd9stores are all closin' and DAmaley is dAm/Gozin'
And the Dmfat man is Dm7counting the Ecars...
And there's moAmre cars than Eplaces to Amput 'em, he A7says,
Dm G C (F C)
But I've got room for some more;
So Fadd9round 'em up boys, 'cause I Amwant some more toys,
Hit the Dmlot by the Dm7grocery Estore...
Chorus:
To me, Amway, Ehey, E7tow them AmawaA7y,
Dm G C (F C)
The Lincoln Park Pirates are we.
From FWilmette to AmGary, there's Fnone that's so Amhairy
And we aDmlways collDm7ect our Efee!
So it's Amway, Ehey, E7tow 'em AmawaA7y,
Dm G C (F C)
We plunder the streets of your town,
Be it FEdsel or AmChevy, there's Fno car too Amheavy,
And Dmno one can Emake us Amshut down.
We break into cars when we gotta
With pickaxe and hammer and saw;
And they say this garage had no license,
But little care I for the law.
All 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 none that's 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 none that's 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!
