Deshusada, maravillosa, dulce, salada y espesa. Musical nostálgico que conllevó un gran éxito para su director. Tuve la primera referencia del mismo al ver distintas secuencias en la reciente película Sexo en Nueva York, donde la asistente de Carrie que era de este lugar citaba el film como maravilloso. Después de tal referencia me propuse verlo. Los colores de esta película como muchas de las canciones son preciosas. No es del todo redonda pues la parte final es algo así como apresurada, pero hay verdaderos momentos como el de apagar las luces que son de una belleza especial.

When Louis came home to the flat,
He hung up his coat and his hat,
He gazed all around, but no wifey he found,
So he said "where can Flossie be at?"
A note on the table he spied,
He read it just once, then he cried.
It ran, "Louis dear, it's too slow for for me hear,
So I think I will go for a ride."


CHORUS

"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 your tootsie wootsie,
If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair."


Verse two

The dresses that hung in the hall,
Were gone, she had taken them all;
She took all his rings and the rest of his things;
The picture he missed from the wall.
"What! moving!" the janitor said,
"Your rent is paid three months ahead."
"What good is the flat?" said poor Louis, "Read that."
And the janitor smiled as he read.


CHORUS

"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 your tootsie wootsie,
If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair."
