All I Need Is the Girl - Bette Midler

All I Need Is the Girl Lyrics

I pretend I'm at home getting dressed for a date
I take a comb, comb my hair
Take a flower, smell it and put it in my lapel
And I spot the audienceOnce my clothes were shabby
Tailors called me Cabbie
So I took a vow, said this bum'll be Beau BrummelNow 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 needGot 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 'emIf she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl
And if shell say my darling I'm yours
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed
All I really need is the girlI start off easy, you see?
Now I'm more debonair, ssh, break
And I sell it here, I start this step, see?
And then I build it, double itShe appears all in white, I take her hand, kiss it

And lead her on the floor
This step's good for the costume, Astaire's pat
Yah, dah, dah, dah, yah, dah, yah, dah, dah, yahNow 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 finaleLouise that's it, do it over here
Follow me, faster, Charleston
Again, do it again, give me your hands
