My Kind of Town Lyrics

Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kissThis is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people too
People who smile at youAnd each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
Why I just grin like a clown
It's my kind of townMy kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904– April 26, 1984) was a jazz pianist, organist, composer, and bandleader. As a pianist, he had a distinctive and influential style (the song title "Splanky" is an onomatopoetic reference to the sound of his playing), equally at home in the barrelhouse and the concert hall. Willie "The Lion" Smith, James P. Johnson, and Fats Waller were among his influences.
