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