Jealousy Duet Lyrics by Blair Brown, Caroline Kava

The Threepenny Opera

1976

[LUCY]
Come on out, you blossom of Soho!
Let us see your legs, my little sweetheart!
I hear you have such a dainty ankle
But I'd love to see a more complete tart
They tell me that Mac says your behind is so provoking
[POLLY]
Did he now, did he now?
[LUCY]
If what I see is true he must be joking
[POLLY]
Is he now, is he now?
[LUCY]
Ho, it makes me split my gut!
[POLLY]
So that’s how you split your gut?
[LUCY]
Fancy you as Mackie's slut!
[POLLY]
Slut would know another slut
[LUCY]
Ha ha ha ha ha! Not hard to know
What part of her delights him so
[POLLY]
Watch your filthy tongue, my dear
[LUCY]
Watch my tongue for who, my dear?
[POLLY]
Watch your filthy tongue, my dear
[LUCY]
Watch my tongue for who, my dear?
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ah ah
[LUCY & POLLY]
Mackie and I, see how we bill and coo
He's lost his taste for tawdry rendеzvous
Your story’s an invention
I will not pay attention
To damaged goods likе you
Shitpot!
[POLLY]
Oh, they call me blossom of Soho
And Macheath appears to find me pretty
[LUCY, spoken]
Does he now?
[POLLY]
They say I have such a dainty ankle
And the best proportions in the city
[LUCY]
Shit on you!
[POLLY]
Shit on you too!
They tell me that Mac says your behind is so provoking
[LUCY]
Did he now? Did he now?
[POLLY]
I do not suppose that he is joking
[LUCY]
Isn't he? Isn't he?
[POLLY]
Ho, it makes me split my gut!
[LUCY]
Oh, that's how you split your gut?
[POLLY]
Mackie's bride replaced his slut
[LUCY]
Who's the bride and who's the slut?
[POLLY]
Ha ha ha ha ha! Not hard to know
What part of her delights him so
[LUCY]
Watch your filthy tongue, my dear
[POLLY]
Watch my tongue for who, my dear?
[LUCY]
Watch your filthy tongue, my dear
[POLLY]
Watch my tongue for who, my dear?
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ah ah
[LUCY & POLLY]
Mackie and I, see how we bill and coo
He's lost his taste for tawdry rendezvous
Your story’s an invention
I will not pay attention
To damaged goods like you
Shitpot!
