Chicago

Good thing
Hey, got yourself a good thing
It's a good thing
It's a good thing
Got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go

So you met someone
Who set you back on your heels
Goody, goody
So you met someone
And now you know how it feels
Goody, goody
So you gave him your heart, too
Just as I gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces
Now how do you do?

So you lie awake
Just singin' the blues all night
Goody, goody
So you think that love's
A barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
You had it comin' to ya
Goody, goody for him
Goody, goody for me
And I hope you're satisfied
You, rascal, you

Good thing
Got yourself a good thing
It's a good thing
Got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go

So you met somebody
Who set you back on your heels
Goody, goody
So you met somebody
And now you know how it feels
Goody, goody
So you gave him your heart, too
Just as I gave mine to you
And he stuck it in his collection
Section 92

So you lie awake
Just singin' the blues all night
Goody, goody
So you think that love's
A barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
You had it comin' to ya
Goody, goody for him
Goody, goody for me
And I hope you're satisfied
You, rascal, you

Good thing
Got yourself a good thing
Good thing
Got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go
Good thing
Got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go
Good thing
Got yourself a good thing
Good thing
Got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
