[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 waiting 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 would 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
When you see a dame change the shape of that frame
You can bet she's reducin' it for some guy
When you find a doll with her diamond in hock
Rest assured that that rock has gone to restock
Some gentleman jock
When you see a mouse running out of her house
And she runs twenty blocks for cigars and rye
Call it dumb, call it clever
Yes, but you can give odds forever
That the doll's only doin' it for some guy
