Whoa, yeah
 
  
  Countrymen, friends, lend me your ears
 
 I'll tell you a tale of fifteen years
 
 I'm an old man that's so forlorn
 
 I wanna see the city where I was born
  
 
 I got a feeling that I can't stand
 
 I wanna go home to my old land
 
 Ain't got no money, I ain't got a cent
 
 I can't get on that train to help me
  
 
 (CHORUS)
 
 Show me the way to St.Louis
 
 Show me the way
 
 Show me the way to St.Louis
 
 Show me the way
 
 Come on, people, gotta get moving
 
 Come on, people, gotta get grooving
 
 Show me the way to St.Louis
 
 Show me the way
  
 
 Step up to me, you city gents
 
 And I'll clean your shoes for fifteen cents
 
 I'll fix your tie, you'll look a smash
 
 If you don't mind, I'll take the cash
  
 
 Soon I'll get the money and I'll feel fine
 
 To pack my bags and drink my wine
 
 I only know I got to go home
 
 The good Lord told me so, so help me
  
 
 (CHORUS)
  
 
 Which train goes to Louis
 
 You know I got the fare
 
 I know my time's coming fast
 
 I got to try to raise the fare
  
 
 Come on, people, gotta get moving
 
 Come on, people, gotta get grooving
 
 Show me the way to St.Louis
 
 Show me the way
 
 Show me the way to St.Louis
 
 Show me the way
  
 
 Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis
 
 Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis......
  
 
 Show me the way to St.Louis
 
 Show me the way
 
 Show me the way to St.Louis
 
 Show me the way
 
 Show me the way to St.Louis
 
 Show me the way....
