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, and asked for some cake.
I asked her what kind she'd adore--.
"Layer," she said, so layer I did
I don't work there anymore.

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