High Fiber Pasta e Ceci, Soup-Style

EATING CHICAGO (my kind of town)
Hello Fellow Foodies!
Chicago is your kind of town!
One town that won’t let you down, Chicago is…
Please enjoy Frank’s singing while taking a bite of Chicago!
This is my kind of town.
Chicago is,
My kind of town,Chicago is,
My kind of people, too;
People who smile at you,
And each time I roam, Chicago is,
Callin’ me home, Chicago is,
One town that won’t let you down;
It’s my kind of town.
