    JEALOUSY DUET - THREEPENNY OPERA

    LUCY Come on out, you Rose of Old Soho!


    Let us see your legs, my little sweetheart!

    POLLY Please yourself!

    LUCY I hear you have a lovely ankle
    And I'd love to see such a complete tart.

    POLLY Would you now?

    LUCY 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 Oh, it makes me split my sides!

    POLLY Oh, that's how you split your side?

    LUCY Fancy you as Mackie's bride!

    POLLY Mackie fancies Mackie's bride.

    LUCY Ha ha ha! Catch him sporting
    With something that the cat brought in.

    POLLY Just you watch your tongue, my dear.

    LUCY Must I watch my tongue, my dear?

    BOTH Mackie and I,
    See how we bill and coo, man;
    He's got no eye
    For any other woman.
    The whole thing's an invention
    You mustn't pay attention
    To such a bitch's slanders.
    Poppycock!

    POLLY Oh, they call me Rose of Old Soho
    And Macheath appears to nd me pretty.

    LUCY Does he now?

    JEALOUSY DUET - THREEPENNY OPERA
    POLLY They say I have a lovely ankle
    And the best proportions in the city.

    LUCY Little whippersnapper!

    POLLY Who's a little whippersnapper?
    Mac tells me that he nds my behind is most provoking.

    LUCY Doesn't he? Doesn't he?

    POLLY I do not suppose that he is joking.

    LUCY Isn't he, isn't he?

    POLLY Ho, it makes me split my sides!

    LUCY Oh, that's how you split your sides?

    POLLY Being Mackie's only bride!

    LUCY Are you Mackie's only bride?

    POLLY Can you really picture him sporting
    With something that the cat brought in?

    LUCY Just you watch your tongue, my dear.

    POLLY Must I watch my tongue, my dear?

    BOTH Mackie and I
    See how we bill and coo, man;
    He's got no eye
    For any other woman.
    The whole thing's an invention
    You mustn't pay attention
    To such a bitch's slanders.
    Poppycock!
