Once my clothes where shabby
Tailors called me cabby
So I took a vow
Said this bum`ll be Beau Brummell
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 is the 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 need now is the girl
