Daddy was a 'runner
On the East Side of Chicago Back in Ares' pay Back in the bad old days In the heat of a summer night In the land of the dollar bill When the town of Chicago died And they talk about it still When a bug named Mama Roach Tried to make that town her own And she called her hive to war Against the forces of the law I heard my momma cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Chummer, what a night it really was Chummer, what a fight it really was Glory be I heard my momma cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Chummer, what a night the people saw Chummer, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed And the sound of the battle rang Through the streets of the old East Side 'Til the last of the buggy gang Had surrendered up or died There was shouting in the street And the sound of running feet And I asked someone who said 'Bout a hundred troops are dead I heard my momma cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Chummer, what a night it really was Chummer, what a fight it really was Glory be I heard my momma cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Chummer, what a night the people saw Chummer, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed Then there was no sound at all But the footsteps in the hall Then the door burst open wide And my daddy stepped inside And he kissed my momma's face Then brushed her gun away I heard my momma cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Chummer, what a night it really was Chummer, what a fight it really was Glory be I heard my momma cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Chummer, what a night the people saw Chummer, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed The night Chicago died The night Chicago died Chummer, what a night it really was Chummer, what a fight it really was Glory be The night Chicago died The night Chicago died |

You know that we don't necessarily need confirmation of that fact, but the results of it are always welcome. :D
Good job mate. :) |

M&M's song is a parody of itslef. as for Toxic, who'd know. she's so synthed on that I can't follwo the real lyrics. A parody only really works if you know the osng that's being parodied. Of course having said that, Paper lace? What you couldn't find all the lyrics for "Ruben Clemso and his strange daughter in the key of C?" (cookie for the person who can identify that singer, same period as AH's song.) |

Paper Lace's version of TNCD was a top ten hit at the time ... and the song is quite famous in and of itself, having been covered a few times.
