You Low-Lived Skunk Lyrics by Larry Marshall (Actor), Carol Brice

Gershwin: Porgy and Bess

0

[ENSEMBLE]
Crown, Crown
[ENSEMBLE & SPORTIN' LIFE, spoken]
Don't you be downhearted (Ha ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
[SPORTIN' LIFE, spoken]
Ah, ha ha ha ha ha
[MARIA]
You low-lived skunk
Ain't you got no shame
Laughin' at these poor women what's singing for their men
Lost in the storm?
[SPORTIN' LIFE]
I ain't see no sense in makin' such as fuss
Over a man when he's dead
When a gal loses her man
There's plenty of men still livin' what likes good looking gals
[MARIA]
I know it ain't them gals you is after
Ain't you see Bess got no use for you?
Ain't you see she got a man?
[SPORTIN' LIFE, spoken]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I see more'n that, auntie
I see she got two mens
[MARIA]
What you mean by that?
Bess got two men
Crown dead, ain't he?
[SPORTIN' LIFE, spoken]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[SPORTIN' LIFE]
I ain't tellin' you nothin'
But a woman what's got just one man
Maybe shе's got him for keeps
But when she's got two mens
Thеre's mighty apt to be a carvin'
Then the cops come in and takes the leavings
And pretty soon she ain't got none
[SPORTIN' LIFE, spoken]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
