Song by Bobbie, Walter<br />

What's playing at the Roxy?

I'll tell you what's playing at the Roxy.

A picture about a Minnesota man falls in love with a Mississippi girl

That he sacrifices everything and moves all the way to Biloxi.

That's what's playing at the Roxy.

What's in the daily news?

I'll tell you what's in the daily news.

Story about a man 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.

Guy sitting home by a television set

That used to be something of a rover.

That's what's happening all over.

Love is the thing that has nipped them.

And it looks like Nathan's just another victim.

NICELY (spoken) 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 folderol

Call it hell, call it heaven

But it's probable twelve to seven

That the guy's only doing it for some doll.

(interlude)

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!
