Guys and Dolls: I'll Know - Sammy Davis, Jr.

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 dame

Change the shape of that frame

You can bet she’s reducing it for some guy

When you find a doll

With her diamond in hock

Rest assured that that rock

Has gone to restock

Some gentleman jock

When you see a mouse

Running out of her house

And she runs twenty blocks for cigars and rye

Call it dumb, call it clever

Yes, but you can get odds forever

That the doll’s only doing it for some guy
