Lyrics:


Chorus sing before each verse
  I used to work in Chicago,
  In a department store,
  I used to work in Chicago,
  I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for some poultry,
I asked her what kind she wished,
goose she said, goose her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for some fresh meat,
I asked her what kind she wished,
Pork she said, pork her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for some doughnuts,
I asked her what kind she wished,
cream she said, cream her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for some gin,
I asked her what kind she wished,
Beefeater she said, eat her her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for some coffee,
I asked her what kind she wished,
ground she said, grind her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for a new dress,
I asked her what kind she wished,
jumper she said, jump her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for a bottle,
I asked her what kind she wished,
liquor she said, lick her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for some carpet,
I asked her what kind she wished,
shag she said, shag her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for some hardware,
I asked her what kind she wished,
screw she said, screw her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for some fabric,
I asked her what kind she wished,
felt she said, felt her I did
I did but I don't any more.

A lady came in for some cake,
I asked her what kind she wished,
layer she said, lay her I did
I did but I don't any more.
