We 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

Once my clothes were shabby

Tailors called me cabbie

So 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

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'M

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

I start off easy you see

Now I'm more debonair

Ssssssssssssssh

Aaaaah

Break

And I settle here

I start this step see

And then I build it double it

She appears all in white and I take her hand

Kiss it and lead her on the floor

This step's good for the costume astaire's pat

Now we waltz springs 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 finale

Louise that's it

Come on over here

Follow me faster charleston

Again do it again
