\"Chi-ca-go\"

A beautiful quail on a branch near by,

she\'s perched there crying \"chi-ca-go\".

while there\'s a hawk circling the sky,

she cries out once more \"chi-ca-go\".

 

Across the way is her handsome mate,

to her nervously he\'s saying \"be-care-ful\".

\"Pit-pit\" he calls at an alarming rate,

Then again he says to her \"be-care-ful\". 

 

A great grey chest takes to the air,

shortly she follows crying \"chi-ca-go\".

Grasped in talons, one from the pair,

she repeatedly screeches \"chi-ca-go\".

 

Frightened and heartbroken she mourns,

crying out to him constantly, \"where\'d-ya-go\".

Into the rose bush with prickly thorns,

taking cover as she\'s hiccuping \"where\'d-ya-go\".
