Gypsy movie - All I Need Is The Girl lyrics

rate me

<br>

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>

<br>
