Songtexte All I Need Is The Girl - Bernadette Peters , 2003 Broadway Cast Gypsy
Well, Louise
I pretend I'm getting ready for a date
I comb my hair
Take a flower, smell it
Put it in my lapel
Then 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'm the cat's meow
My wardrobe is a wow
Paris silk!
Paris 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'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
I start out easy
And now I'm more debonair
Break!
And I sell it here
I start this step
Build it
And double it!
And she appears
All in white
I take her hand and kiss it
And I lead her onto the floor
This step is good for the costume
A stair bit!
La da da da, da da da da da da
Now we waltz
Strings come in
And I lift her
Again!
One more time!
And the tempo changes
And all the lights come up
And I build to the grand finale
Oh that's it, Louise!
But over here!
Now faster!
Charleston!
That's it!
One more time!
Follow me
Grab my hand!
