Once my clothes where shabby
Tailors called me cabbie
So I took a vow
Said this bummo bee bo borammo
Now I'm smooth and snappy
Now my tailor's happy
I'm the cat's meow
My wordrobe is a wow
Paris silk, Haris tweed
There's only one thing I need

Got my tweed press
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 darlin' I'm yours I'll through away
My stiped tie and my best dress tweed
All I really need is the girl

I start easy you see
now I'm more debonair

da'da'da'da'da
da'da'da'da'da'da

And now I sell it here
How can she resist
And if she'll say
My darlin' I'm yours I'll through away
My striped tie and my best dress tweed
All I really need
Is the girl
