Nicely: What's Playing at the Roxy
 I'll tell you what's playing at the Roxy
 A Picture about a Imnnesota man,
 So in love with a Mississippi Girl
 That he sacrifices ev'rything
 and moves all the way to Biloxi
 That's what's playing at the Roxy
 Benny: What's in the Daily News
 I'll tell you 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 in the Daily News
 Nicely: 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
 Both: That's what's happening all over
 Love is the thing that has licked 'em
 and it looks like Nathan's just another victim
 Nicely: Yes Sir
 When you see a guy
 reach for stars in the sky
 You can be sure he's doing it for some doll
 Benny: When you spot a John waiting out in the rain
 Chances are he's insane
 As only a John can be for a Jane
 Nicely: When you meet a gent
 paying all kinds of rent
 for a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal
 Both: Call it sad, Call it Funny
 but it's better than even money
 That the guy's only doing it for some doll
 Benny: When you see a Joe
 Saving half of his dough
 You can bet there'll be mink in it for some doll
 Nicely: When a Bum buys wine
 Like a Bum can't afford
 It's cinch that the Bum
 Is under the thumb of some little broad
 Benny: When you meet a mug
 Lately out of the jug
 and he's still lifting Platinum folderol
 Both: Call it Hell, Call it Heaven
 It's probably twelve to seven
 that the guys
 Only doing it for some doll
 Benny: When you see a sport
 And his Cash has run short
 Make a bet that he's banking it with some doll
 Nicely: When a guys wears tails
 With the front gleaming white
 who the hell do you think
 he's tickling pink
 on Saturday night?
 Benny: When a Lazy Slob takes a good steady job
 and he smells from Vitalis and Barbasol
 Both: Call it dumb, Call it clever
 Ah, but you can give odds forever
 That the guys only doing it
 for some doll, some doll, some doll
 The guy's only doing it for some doll!
