I Used To Work In Chicago Lyrics


Pearl Jam I Used To Work In Chicago


I used to work in Chicago
In a department store.
I used to work in Chicago.
I did but I don't anymore.

A lady came in for some gloves one day.
"What will you have?" I said.
"Rubber," she said, and rub her I did.
I did but I don't anymore.

A lady came in for a hat one day.
"What will you have?" I said.
"Felt," she said, and feel her I did.
I did but I don't anymore.


Likewise other verses:

Cake ... layer ... layer her I did
Dress ... jumper... jump her I did
Shoe ... pump ... pump her I did
Poultry ... goose ... goose her I did
Meat ... neck ... neck her I did
