Once my clothes where shabby Tailors called me cabbie So I took a vow Said this bummo bee bo borammo Now I'm smooth and snappy Now my tailor's happy I'm the cat's meow My wordrobe is a wow Paris silk, Haris tweed There's only one thing I need
Got my tweed press 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

And now I sell it here How can she resist And if she'll say My darlin' I'm yours I'll through away My striped tie and my best dress tweed All I really need Is the girl
