Lincoln Park Pirates (Live)

Lincoln Park Pirates - Steve Goodman

The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight

And lovers a gazin' at stars

The stores are all closin' and Daley is dozin'

And the fat man is counting the cars

And there's more cars than places to put 'em he says

But I've got room for them all

So 'round 'em up boys 'cause I want some more toys

In the lot by the grocery store

To me way hey tow them away

The Lincoln Park pirates are we

From wilmette to Gary there's nothin' 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

We break into cars when we gotta

With hammer and pickaxe and saw

And they said this garage had no license

But little care I for the law

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 nothin' 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 nothin' 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
