Verse 1: Of all pretty sights to be seen summer nights,
There is not one that can compare,
With the beautiful sight to be seen ev'ry night
On the Pike at the St. Louis Fair,
There are folks of all nations, of all creeds and stations,
Enjoying a treat of a life,
So don't stay away, Start out there to day,
And with you take sweetheart or wife.

Chorus: And go Strolling 'long the Pike,
It's a place I'm sure you'll like.
It's not like the Bow'ry, or dear Coney Isle,
There are things to be seen, That will cause you so smile,
As you stroll along the Pike,
You'll see many things you like,
But without any doug, my advice is, don't go,
For a stroll along the pike.

Verse 2: When once you get there, at the St. Louis Far,
I am sure that you'll feel at home,
You will meet folks you know, and the crowd won't be slow,
No mattter where e'er you may roam,
You will see girls so pretty, From 'most ev'ry city,
Arrayed in their best Sunday clothes,
And between ev'ry show, Take someone you know,
And follow the crowd as it goes.

Chorus: And go Strolling 'long the Pike,
It's a place I'm sure you'll like.
It's not like the Bow'ry, or dear Coney Isle,
There are things to be seen, That will cause you so smile,
As you stroll along the Pike,
You'll see many things you like,
But without any doug, my advice is, don't go,
For a stroll along the pike.
