"I Used to Work in Chicago" is a drinking song. It was written by songwriter and entertainer Larry Vincent. The earliest printed date for the song is March 1945 in the underground mimeographed songbook ''Songs of the Century''. Many of the lyrics are considered humorous because of the oblique sexual references. The song is often chanted by various British university sports teams. After World War II, there were various versions of this song commercially recorded (e.g. by Spike Jones). A verse from Spike Jones's version: ::''I used to work in Wisconsin '' ::''Behind the smorgasbord '' ::''In the cafeteria. '' ::''A lady came in the door. '' ::''She said she wanted a boiled egg. '' ::''I said 'What part do you like?' '' ::''(accent ) Yolk she vanted, a yoke I told. '' ::''I'll never work there anymore....
