Guys and Dolls

When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doin' it for some doll
When you spot a John waiting out in the rain
Chances are he's insane as only a John can be for a Jane

When you meet a gent paying all kinds of rent
For a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal
Call it sad, call it funny
But it's better than even money
That the guy's only doin' it for some doll

When you see a dame change the shape of her frame
You can bet she's reducing it for some guy
When you find a doll with her diamond in hock
Rest assured that the rock
Is gonе to restock some gentlеman jock

When you see a mouse hurry out of the house
And she runs twenty blocks for cigars and rye
Call it dumb, call it clever, ah, but you can give odds forever
That the doll's only doin' it for some guy

[Xylophone break]

When a lazy slob takes a goody steady job
And he smells from vitalis and barbasol
When a guy buys wine that the guy can't afford
You can bet that the guy is making' a try for some little broad

When you meet a mug lately out of the jug
And he's still lifting platinum folderol
Call it hell, call it heaven
But it's probable twelve to seven
That the guy's only doin' it for some doll

You can bet that he's doin' it for some doll!
