All I Need Is the Girl

Tulsa
 Intro:
 Well, you see, I'll pretend I'm at home getting ready for a date.
 I take a comb, comb my hair
 Take a flower, smell it, put it in my lapel
 And I spot the audience!
 Verse:
 Once my clothes WERE shabby
 Tailors CALLED me, "Cabbie"
 Got so rough I TOOK a vow
 Said this bum'LL
 Be Beau Brummel
 Now I'm smooth and SNAPPY
 Now my tailor's happy
 I AM the cats meow
 My wardrobe is a wow!
 Paris silk! HARRIS tweed!
 There's only one thing I need...
 Refrain:
 Got my tweed crest
 Got my best vest
 All I need now is the girl
 Got my striped tie
 Got my hopes high
 Got the time and the place
 And I got rhythm
 Now all I need is the girl to go with'M
 If she'LL
 just appear we'll
 Take this big town for a WHIRL
 And if she'LL ONLY say, "My darling I'm yours"
 I'll throw away
 My striped tie
 And my best-PRESSED tweed
 All I really need
 Is the girl.
 Patter:
 (: speaking:) I start off easy, you see?
 Now I'm more debonair...
 Ssssssssssssssh! Aaaaah! Break ... Now! Yeah!
 And I settle here... I start this step, see?
 And then I build it... Double it!
 She appears all in white and I take her hand,
 Kiss it and lead her on the floor...
 This step's good for the costume... Astaire's pat!
 Dah dah dah dah... Dah dah dah dah yah dah...
 Now we waltz, springs come in
 And I lift her... Again... Once more!
 And now the tempo changes and all the lights come up
 And I build for the finale
 Louise, that's it!
 Come on over here...
 Follow me... Faster! Charleston...
 Again... Do it again! Ha ha ha!
