<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
