Guys and Dolls
[Verse 1]
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 see a mouse hurry out of the house
And she runs twenty blocks for cigars and rye
Call it dumb, call it clever
Ah, but you can give odds forever
That the doll's only doing it for some guy

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
When you see a dame change the shape of her frame
You can bet she's reducing it for some guy
When you find a doll with her diamond in hock
Rest assurеd that the rock has gone to restock
Somе gentleman jock
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
He's only doing it
The boob is doing it for some doll
