What's playing,
At the Roxy?
I'll tell you
What's playing
At 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 Biloxi
That's what's playin'
At the Roxy
What's in the,
Daily News?
I'll tell you what's
In the Daily News
A 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
What's happening,
All over?
I'll tell you what's
Happening all over
Guys sitting home
By a television set
Who once used
To be something
Of a rover
That's what's
Happening all over
Love is the thing
That has licked 'em
And it looks like
Nathan's 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
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
Fol-de-rol
Call it hell
Call it heaven
It's a probable
Twelve to seven
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 good
Steady job
And he smells from
Vitalis and Barbisol
Call it dumb
Call it clever
Ah, but you can
Give 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... !
