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 the gent
Who pays all kinds of rent
For a flat that would just 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 dame
Change the shape of her frame
You can lay odds she's taking if off for some guy
When you find a doll
With her diamond in hock
Bet your life that the rock
Is going to restock some gentlemen jock
When you see a mouse
Hurry, scurry out of the house
And she runs twenty blocks
For cigars and rye
Call if dumb
Say it's clever
But you can give odds forever
That the doll's only doing it
The guy's having her do it
Everybody's doing it for some guy
