Guys and Dolls
[NICELY]
What's playin' at the Roxy?
I'll tell you what's playin' 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 playin' at the Roxy
[BENNY]
What's in the Daily News?
I'll tell you 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
[NICELY]
What's happenin' all over?
I'll tell you what's happenin' all over
Guy's sittin' at home by a television set
Who used to be somethin' of a rover
[NICELY & BENNY]
That's what's happenin' all over
Love is the thing that has licked 'em
And it looks like Nathan's another victim
[NICELY]
When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doin' it for some doll
[BENNY]
When you spot a John waitin' out in the rain
Chances are he's insane as only a John can be for a Jane
[NICELY]
When you meet a gent payin' all kinds of rent
For a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal
[NICELY & BENNY]
Call it sad, call it funny
But it's better than even money
That the guy's only doin' it for some doll
[NICELY]
When you see a Joe savin' half of his dough
You can bet there'll be mink in it for some doll
[BENNY]
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
[NICELY]
When you meet a mug lately out of the jug
And he's still liftin' platinum folderol
[NICELY & BENNY]
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!
