Jealousy Duet lyrics
Jealousy Duet
[LUCY]
Come on out, you gutter-lily you
Show your legs, and let's all see how pretty
I'm always glad to admire beauty
They're the thickest ankles in the city
[POLLY, spoken]
Ah!
[LUCY]
You thought you could make a big impression on my Mackie
[POLLY]
Didn't I? Didn't I?
[LUCY]
Guess you never met his old friend Jackie
[POLLY]
Didn't I? Didn't I?
[LUCY]
Well, you kind of make me laugh
[POLLY]
Well, I kind of make you laugh
[LUCY]
Who would want a stupid calf?
[POLLY]
Who would want what stupid calf?
[LUCY]
Ha, now there's a leg for you
So Mackie needn't beg for you
[POLLY]
Well you better ask him
[LUCY]
Yes you better ask him
[POLLY]
You had better ask him
[LUCY]
You had better ask him
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ah ha
[POLLY & LUCY]
Macki? and me, I always knew he'd choos? me
Mackie and me, and he will never lose me
He's not in any danger
From some threepenny stranger
He'd leave me for a stranger?
Laughable!
[POLLY]
Yes, they call me beauty of the town
See my legs, and say "Now those are pretty"
I'm glad you're glad to admire beauty
Note the trimmest ankle in the city
[LUCY, spoken]
Go peddle your wares somewhere else
[POLLY]
I knew I would make a big impression on my Mackie
[LUCY]
Oh, did you? Did you?
[POLLY]
You'd be pleased to know I've met his Jackie
[LUCY]
Have you? Have you?
[POLLY]
Well you kind of make me laugh
[LUCY]
Now I kind of make you laugh?
[POLLY]
Who would want a big giraffe?
[LUCY]
Who would want what big giraffe?
[POLLY]
Ha ha ha, you are so pitiful
Imagining you're beautiful
[LUCY]
Bet you wouldn't ask him
[POLLY]
Certainly I'll ask him
[LUCY]
Go on then, ask him
[POLLY]
You'd better ask him
Ah ha, ah ha, ah ha, ah ha, ah ha
[POLLY & LUCY]
Mackie and me, he never could refuse me
Mackie and me, and he will never lose me
[POLLY]
He likes a nice petite girl
[LUCY]
He likes a big complete girl
[POLLY & LUCY]
Him leave me for a street girl?
Asinine!
