FIVE HUNDRED GUYS
(Irving Kosloff / D Cantor)

as recorded by Frank sinatra & backing group
with Nelson Riddle & his Orchestra
April 9th 1956 Los Angeles


Five hundred guys
Have one thousand eyes
For my baby.
They stand around and stare,
No matter where she goes!
Five hundred men
Have one great big yen
For my baby,
They'd like to buy her things
Like diamond rings and clothes.

I really had to overcome a lot of competition,
And I'm not tellin' how I reached my number one position!

But four ninety nine
Are wastin' their time
With my baby,
And here's the reason why they have my sympathy,
'Cause baby, she got eyes for me!

Five hundred men
Have one great big yen
For my baby,
They'd like to buy her things
Like diamond rings and clothes.

I really had to overcome a gang of competition,
And I'm not tellin' how I reached my number one position!

But four ninety nine,
And they're wastin' their time
With my baby,
And here's the reason why they have my sympathy,
'Cause baby has two eyes,
Great big bright blue eyes,
Baby just has eyes for me,
My baby just has eyes for me!
