[Verse 1]
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 waitin' out in the rain
Chances are he's insane as only a John can be for a Jane
When you meet a gent payin' 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

[Verse 2]
When you see a Joe savin' 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 liftin' platinum folderol
Call it hell, call it heaven
It's a probable twelve to seven
That the guy's only doin' it for some doll
Some doll, some doll
The guy's only doin' it for some doll
