Guys and Dolls

When you see a guy

Reach for stars in the sky

You can beat that he's doin' it

For some doll.

When you spot a John

Waitin' out in the rain

Chances are he's insane

As only a John can be for a Jane.

When you meet the gent

Who pays all kinds of rent

For a flat that would just 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 lay odds she's takin' if off

For some guy.

When you find a doll

With her diamond in hock

Bet your life that the rock

Is goin' to restock some gentlemen jock.

When ... you see a mouse

Hurry, scurry out of the house

And she runs twenty blocks

For cigars and rye ...

Call if dumb ... say it's clever

But you can give odds forever

That the doll's only doin' it ...

The guy's havin' her do it ...

Everybody's doin' it ...

For ... some guy ...
