Guys & Dolls |
| Benny: Nathan, I cannot believe that a number one businessman like you |
| Has fallen in love with his own fianc‚e |
| Nathan: Alright, so Adelaide is my weakness, can’t you be tolerant that I |
| should have a weakness? |
| Because this weakness is a sad condition that affects guys all over the world? |
| Look, what’s playing at the Roxy? |
| I’ll tell you what’s playing in 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 Malacksy |
| 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 on the daily news |
| Nicely: What’s happening all over? |
| I’ll tell you what is happening all over |
| Guys sitting home before the television set who used to be something of a rover |
| That is what’s happening all over |
| All: What is the thing that has licked 'em? |
| Nathan: And it looks like I am 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 bad, call it funny, but it’s better than even money |
| That’s the guy that’s only doing it for some doll |
| When you see a Joe, saving half of his dough |
| You can bet they’ll be minting 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 for the roll |
| Call its hell, call it heaven, it’s a probable twelve to seven |
| That’s a guy that’s only doing it for some doll |
| (musical interlude) |
| When you see a sport and his cash has run short |
| You can bet that 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 a 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 keep on forever |
| That’s a guy that’s only doing it for some doll, some doll, some doll |
| That’s a guy that’s only doing it for some doll |
