"ST. LOUIS BOOS"

The Women's Advertising Club of St. Louis presented this song at the 1954 Gridiron on April 1, 1954 at the Hotel Jefferson in St. Louis, MO.

I hate to see the folks move out of town.
I hate to see the folks move out of town.
Seems like St. Louis is on the last go round
Feelin' tomorrow so doggone mean and blue
Feelin' tomorrow so doggone mean and blue
I'll pack my trunks and move out to Ladue
Round Famous Clayton the spending's mighty free
With Straub's and Gutman's both doing hansomely
But if it weren't for the Gridiron and the VP Ball
Those country gals, they wouldn't come in town at all
Got the St. Louis Blues just as blue as I can be
My suburb's have got all the dough and property
That St. Louis Country will be the death of me.
