Meet Me In Seattle



"♪ ♫ ♩ ♬Meet Me In Seattle ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬" "Seattle Washington. A new landmark, The Space Needle, dominates this view with Seattle in the background and Mt. Rainier 60 miles in the distance standing guardian over all."
 
I'm growing quite a collection of Seattle Postcards.  I'm particularly fond of anything related to the 1962 Seattle World's Fair.
I have several of this postcard view.  But the musical inscription led me to look for the song.
It's awesomely awful. So I love it.
The mp3 file has been uploaded here (which was blogged here)

I was compelled to geek out the lyrics to this peppy tune:

"Meet Me In Seattle" Joy and the Boys - Seafair Records


Meet me in Seattle at the fair

If you want to meet me I’ll be there

I will be your guy
You will be my doll
We will have a ball
Remember
If you wanna hug me hug me there
If you wanna kiss me kiss me there
I’ll be waiting
to start that celebrating.
Meet me in Seattle
That’s where I’ll be at; I’ll meet you 
in Seattle at the fair.

Doodoodoodoo
Paris at the exposition
The item of the hour
that took the prize
and raised the eyes - the Eiffel tower
Chicago of the 30s had Billy Rose’s plan
The Aquacade,
Promenade
and Sally 
and her fan

Now it’s in Seattle
and honey you can bet
Meet me here
I promise dear
Ya aint seen nothing yet! Yeah!
Dressed up in my finery
Up in that space age dinery

Meet me in Seattle
That’s where I’ll be at; I’ll meet you 
in Seattle at the fair

If you fail me I’ll be blue
Wanna ride that monorail with you

Meet me in Seattle
That’s where I’ll be at; I’ll meet you 
in Seattle at the fair!


Any other interpretations of the lyrics welcome!
