All I Need Is the Girl Lyrics

Once my clothes where shabbie
Tailors called me cabbie
So I took a vow
Said this bummo bee bo borammo
Now I'm smooth and snappy
Now my tailors happy
I'm the cats meow
My wardrobe is a wow
Paris silk, Harris 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
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 through away
My striped tie and my best dress tweed
All I really need is the girl

I start easy you see
Now I'm more deberner

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
