[PETER]
Here come the honey man
Yes ma'am, this the honey man
You got honey in the comb?
Yes ma'am, I got honey in the comb
And is your honey cheap?
Yes ma'am, my honey very cheap
Here come the honey man
[ENSEMBLE & LILY]
Hello, Peter (Well, here come my old man)
[LILY]
Now gimme the money
Now go sit and rest
[MARIA]
Hey Scipio!
[MARIA, spoken]
Here comes Porgy
Go open the gate for him
[JAKE]
Hеre's the old crap shark
[MINGO]
Now we'll havе a game
[PORGY]
Evenin', ladies
Hello, boys
Luck been ridin' high with Porgy today
I got a pocket full of the buckra money
And it's goin' to any man
[PORGY, spoken]
What got the guts to shoot it off me
[MINGO]
Get on down, son, we'll take it
[SPORTIN' LIFE]
Lay it down
[ROBBINS]
All right, mens, roll 'em
We done wait long enough
[JIM]
You best wait for Crown
I see him comin', takin' the whole sidewalk
And he looks like he ain't gonna stand no foolin'
[PORGY]
Is Bess with him?
[JAKE]
Listen to Porgy
I think he's soft on Crown's Bess
[PORGY]
I ain't never swap two words with Bess
[MARIA]
Porgy got too good sense
To look twice at that liquor guzzlin' slut
[SERENA]
That gal Bess ain't fit for God fearin' ladies to 'sociate with
[PORGY]
Can't you keep your mouth off Bess?
Between the God fearin' ladies and the God damnin' men
That gal ain't got a chance
[JAKE]
Ain't I tell you Porgy's soft on her?
[PORGY]
No, no, brother
Porgy ain't soft on no woman
They pass by singin'
They pass by cryin'
Always lookin'
They look in my door and they keep on movin'
When God make cripple, He mean him to be lonely
Night time, day time
He got to travel that lonesome road
Night time, day time
He got to travel that lonesome road
