Guys And Dolls

What's playing at the Roxy?
I'll tell you what's playing at the Roxy
A picture about a Minnesota man
So in love with a Mississippi girl
That he sacrifices everything
And moves all the way to Biloxi
That's what's playing at the Roxy

What's in the daily news?
I'll tell what's in the daily news
Story about a guy who bought his wife a small ruby
With what otherwise would have been his union dues
That's what's in the daily news

What's happening all over?
I'll tell you what's happening all over
Guy sitting home by a television set
Who used to be something of a rover
That's what's happening all over
Love is a thing that has licked 'em
And it looks like Nathan's another victim

When you see a guy
Reach for stars in the sky
You can bet, that he's doing 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
A-that the guy's only doing it for some doll

When you see a Joe, saving half of his dough
You can bet
There'll be mink in it for some doll
When a bum buys wine, like a bum can't afford
It's a cinch that the bum, is under the thumb
Of 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
It's a probable twelve to seven
A-that the guy's only doing it for some doll
Some doll, some doll
The guy's only doing it for some doll
