Guys and dolls - Frank Loesser, The Andrews Sisters

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 you what’s in the daily news

Story about a man 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

That used to be something of a rover

That’s what’s happening all over

Love is the thing that has licked 'em

And it looks like Nathan’s just another victim

Yes, sir!

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

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

But it’s probable twelve to seven

That the guy’s only doing it for some doll

When you see a sport

And his cash has run short

Make a bet that he’s banking it with some doll

When a guy wears tails with the front gleaming white

Who the hell do you think he’s tickling pink on Saturday night?

When a lazy slob takes a good steady job

And he smells from vitalis and barbasol

Call it dumb, call it clever

Ah, but you can get odds forever

That the guy’s only doing it for some doll

Some doll, some doll

The guy’s only doing it for some doll!
