"Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis"
Meet me in St. Louis, Louis, meet me at the fair,
Don't tell me the lights are shining any place but there.
We will dance the Hoochee-Koochee, I will be you tootsie wootsie;
Meet me in St. Louis, Louis, meet me at the fair.

Meet me in St. Louis, Louis, meet me at the fair |
