<lengthy instrumental intro>
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 the rhythm,
Now all i need's 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
<lengthy instrumental while franks hums and scats off and on>
Got my tweed pressed, i got my best vest, all i need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes `way up high
I got the time and the place and the rhythm
All i need's the girl to go with'em
Mm, if she'll just appear we'll take this, this great big town for a whirl
And if, if she'll say "my, darlin', i'm yours"
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed
All i real, really need is the girl
< more instrumental with scat>
All i need is the girl
