Gypsy: All I Need Is the Girl

Lyrics

Tulsa, tell about your night club act
 O.K., well you see,
 I pretend I'm home getting dressed for a date
 I take a comb, I comb my hair
 Take a flower,
 smell it,
 put it in my lapel
 And then I spot the audience!
 Once my clothes were shabby
 Tailors called me, "Cabbie"
 So, I took a vow
 Said this bum'll
 Be Beau Brumme!
 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 got rhythm
 Now, all I need's a girl to go with'm
 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
 "I start easy!
 Now I'm more debonair
 Shhh
 Break!
 And I sell it here
 I start this step, see?
 And build it!
 And, and double it!
 She appears all in white,
 I take her hand and kiss it
 and lead her on the floor
 This step is good for the costume,
 Astaire pat!
 la da, da da, da da, dada dya da,
 Now we waltz,
 strings 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!
 Over here!
 Give your hand!
 Now follow me!
 Faster!
 Charleston
 Again!
 Again!
