Guys and Dolls Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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 see a mouse hurry out of the house
And she runs 20 blocks for cigars and rye
Call it dumb, call it clever
Oh, but you can give odds forever
That the doll's only doin′ it for some guy


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 assured that the rock has gone to restock
Some gentleman Jock

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
He's only doin′ it
The boob is doin' it for some doll
