I Love an Esquire Girl lyrics

I Love an Esquire Girl lyrics   —  Music by Roger Edens, lyrics by Lew Brown and Ralph Freed, sung in the movie DuBarry Was A Lady by Red Skelton

When I buy an Esquire,
The bible of the well-dressed man,
My pulse jumps ten points higher,
But not because of each dapper dan!
I don’t go in for fashions,
I forget the authors’ names,
The only thing I go for
Are those beautiful dames!
