All I Need Is a Girl

Once my clothes were shabby

Tailors called me cabbie

So I took a vow

Said this bum'll be Beau Brummel

Now I'm smooth and snappy

Now my tailor's happy

I'm the cat's meow

My wardrobe is a wow

Paris silk, Harris tweed

There's only one thing I need

Got my tweed pressed, 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've got rhythm

All I need's a girl to go with 'em

If she'll just appear

We'll take this big town for a whirl

And if she'll 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

Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest

All I need now is a girl

Got a sports car, nutty Jaguar

Like wow, I got the time and the place

All that I need is her face

If she'll just appear

We'll take this big town for a whirl

And if she'll say, "My darling, our love is here to stay"

Then I am prepared to throw away

My blue striped tie, I'll lose my best-pressed tweed

I'll burn the Paris silk

All I need is a girl
