Am E
One morning in Chicago where the wind comes off the lake
E Am
A slow and sleepy pizza man had a pizza pie to bake
Am Dm
He gathered his ingredients, he quickly rolled his dough
Am E Am
He twirled it and he tossed it, holy cow, where did it go
[Verse 2]
Am E
The dough flew out the window and went flying down the street
E Am
And as it flew, it grew and grew this wheel of whirling wheat
Am Dm
This spinning mass of flour acting like a hurricane
Am E Am
It kept on growing larger ‘till it finally became
[Chorus]
Am
The giant pizza (triple cheese)
G
The giant pizza (extra sausage)
F
The giant pizza (no anchovies)
E Am
That ate Chicago
[Verse 3]
Am E
The cheeses of Chicago all went flying off the shelves
E Am
They joined the giant pizza ‘cause they could not help themselves
Am Dm
Tomatoes from the farm stands all discovered they could fly
Am E Am
And they all went plop, atop the giant pizza in the sky
[Chorus]
Am
The giant pizza (triple cheese)
G
The giant pizza (extra sausage)
F
The giant pizza (no anchovies)
E Am
That ate Chicago
[Verse 4]
Am E
The pizza cast a shadow that was miles and miles wide
E Am
The smell of pepperoni kept the citizens inside
Am Dm
The spinning crust descended ‘till as everybody feared
Am E Am
With a tell-tale whiff of garlic, all Chicago disappeared
[Chorus]
Am
The giant pizza (triple cheese)
G
The giant pizza (extra sausage)
F
The giant pizza (no anchovies)
E Am
That ate Chicago
[Verse 5]
Am E
Now when you order pizza and you start to salivate
E Am
Just think of poor Chicago and its sad and tragic fate
Am Dm
When your guy spins his pizza and he twirls it in the air
Am E Am
If it comes back then you’re cool, but if it doesn’t then beware
[Chorus]
Am
The giant pizza (triple cheese)
G
The giant pizza (extra sausage)
F
The giant pizza (no anchovies)
E Am
That ate Chicago
[Chorus]
Am
The giant pizza (triple cheese)
G
The giant pizza (extra sausage)
F
The giant pizza (no anchovies)
E Am
That ate Chicago
