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!
