All I Need is the Girl [song lyrics]

Song lyrics to All I Need is the Girl, by Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim for the musical Gypsy

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

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

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

All I need is the girl
