Lyrics[]

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'm the cats 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 really need is the girl

La dah dah dah...Dah dah dah dah yah dah...
Now we waltz, strings come in
