Tulsa 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.
