Handclaps: ---
I'm going to Chicago, that's the last place
my baby stayed
I'm packing up my bags, I'm going to leave
this town right away
I'm going to find that girl if I have to hitch
hike around the world
Hitch hike
Hitch hike, baby
Chicago City, that's what the sign on the freeway
read
I'm going to keep on going 'til I get to that
street that's called 6th and Main
I've got to find that girl if I have to hitch
hike around the world
Come on, hitch hike, hitch hike children
Hitch hike, hitch hike baby
Hitch hike, hitch hike baby
Come on, hitch hike, hitch hike darling (children)
Hitch hike, baby
Hitch hike, children
I'm going to St. Louis but my next stop just
might be LA, that's what I said
I've got no money in my pockets so I'm going
to have to hitch hike all the way
- hitch hike children
I'm going to find that girl if I have to hitch
hike around the world
Come on, come on, hitch hike baby, hitch hike
children
Hitch hike, hitch hike darling
Come on, hitch hike, hitch hike children
Hitch... hitch hike, hitch hike baby
