All I Need Is The Girl
Harry Connick Jr. · Other Songs - Harry Connick Jr.
Got my best vest
All I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie
Got my hopes high
Oh, I've got the time and the place and the rhythm
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
[ Talking:
'Look out now.
You all didn't know I could do that, did you?
You still dont know I can do that, do you?' ]
[ Harry is tap dancing ]
Oh, I've got the time and the place and the rhythm
All I need's the girl to go with 'em
If she'll just appear
We'll.. ..we'll take this big town for a whirl
And if she'll say
"Oh Harry, I love ya,"
Then I'll throw away my striped tie
I'll throw away my best pressed tweed
[ Talking:
'It's a very aqward moment here in the theatre right now.
You don't know exactly how to act or what to think.
And I'm in control.
A spattering of applause makes the people yet more uncomfortable.' ]
