Lyrics Guys And Dolls - Rosemary Clooney

Guys And Dolls

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
When you see a sport and his cash has run short
Make a bet that he’s banking it with some doll
When a guy wears tails with the front gleaming white
Who the hell do you think he’s tickling pink on Saturday night?
When a lazy slob takes a goody 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!
