[Nathan:]
What's playing at the Roxy?
I'll tell you what's playing at the Roxy.
It's 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.
[Benny:]
What's in the daily news?
I'll tell 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 happening all over?
I'll tell you what's happening all over.
Guy sitting home by a television set who used to be something of a rover.
That's what's happening all over.
[All:] Love is the thing that has licked them!
[Nathan:] And it looks like I'm 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.
(musical interlude)
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 its hell, call it heaven,
It's a probable twelve to seven
That the guy's only doing it for some doll.
(musical interlude)
When you see a sport
And his cash has run short,
You can bet he's been blowing it on some doll.
When a guy wears tails with the front gleaming white,
Who the heck do you think
He's tickling pink
On Saturday night?
When the lazy slob
Gets 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.
