    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
