Oh, baby, don't you want to go?
Oh, baby, don't you want to go?
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home, Chicago?
Oh, baby, don't you want to go?
Oh, baby, don't you want to go?
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home, Chicago?
Now one and one is two
Two and two is four
I'm heavy loaded baby
I'm booked I gotta go
Cryin', baby
Honey, don't you want to go?
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home, Chicago?
Now two and two is four
Four and two is six
You gonna keep monkeyin round here friend-boy
You gonna get your business all in a trick
But I'm cryin', baby
Honey, don't you wanna go?
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home, Chicago?
Now six and two is eight
Eight and two is ten
Friend-boy she trick you one time
She sure gonna do it again
But I'm cryin', hey hey
Baby, don't you want to go?
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home, Chicago?
I'm goin to california
From there to Des Moines Iowa
Somebody will tell me that you
Need my help someday
Cryin', hey hey
Baby don't you want to go?
Back to the land of California
To my sweet home, Chicago?
