Gershwin: Porgy and Bess

0

[BESS & CROWN]
Wake up and hit it out
You ain't got no time to lose (What's the)
You done kill Robbins (Matter?)
And the police will be comin'
[CROWN]
Where you gonna hide?
They know you and I's pull together
[BESS, spoken]
Some man always willin' to take care of Bess
[CROWN, spoken]
Well, get this: whoever he is, he's temporary
[CROWN]
I's coming back when the hell dies down
[BESS]
All right, only get out now
Here, take this
That you, Sportin' Life?
[SPORTIN' LIFE]
Sure, and I's the only friend you got left
[BESS]
For God's sake, give me a touch of happy dust
I shakin' so I can hardly stand
[SPORTIN' LIFE]
Listen, I'll be goin' to New York soon
I'll hide you out and take you with me
Why, you and me would make a swell team
[BESS]
I ain't come to that yet
[SPORTIN' LIFE]
Well, the cops ain't gonna find me here for no woman
[BESS, spoken]
Hey, open the door!
Somebody open the door!
Please, open the door for me!
Let me in!
Will somebody please open the door?
Who is over here?
Open the door!
[MARIA, spoken]
You done bring trouble enough
Get out before the police come
[BESS]
You wouldn't have a heart and let me in?
[MARIA, spoken]
Not 'til hell freeze
[BESS]
Who live over there?
[MARIA]
That's Porgy
He ain't no use to your kind
He's a cripple and a beggar
[BESS, spoken]
Please, open the door!
[Police whistle sends BESS back to PORGY's room. PORGY opens the door and lets her in.]
