The Story Of Lucy And Jessie (From "Follies") |
| Here’s a little story that should make you cry |
| About two unhappy dames |
| Let us call them Lucy X and Jessie Y |
| Which are not their real names |
| Now Lucy has the purity |
| Along with the unsurety |
| That comes with being |
| Only twenty-one |
| Jessie has maturity |
| And plenty of security |
| Whatever you can do |
| With them she’s done |
| Given their advantages |
| You may ask why |
| The two ladies have such grief |
| This is my belief |
| In brief |
| Lucy is juicy |
| But terribly drab |
| Jessie is dressy |
| But cold as a slab |
| Lucy wants to be dressy |
| Jessie wants to be juicy |
| Lucy wants to be Jessie |
| And Jessie, Lucy |
| You see, Jessie is racy |
| But hard as a rock |
| Lucy is lacy |
| But dull as a smock |
| Jessie wants to be lacy |
| Lucy wants to be Jessie |
| That’s the sorrowful precis |
| It’s very messy |
| Poor sad souls |
| Itching to be switching roles |
| Lucy wants to do what Jessie does |
| Jessie want to be what Lucy was |
| Lucy’s a lassie |
| You pat on the head |
| Jessie is classy |
| But virtually dead |
| Lucy wants to be classy |
| Jessie wants to be Lassie |
| If Lucy and Jessie could only combine |
| I could tell you someone |
| Who would finally feel just fine |
| Poor sad souls |
| Itching to be switching roles |
| Lucy wants to do what Jessie does |
| Jessie want to be what Lucy was |
| Lucy’s a lassie |
| You pat on the head |
| Jessie is classy |
| But virtually dead |
| Lucy wants to be classy |
| Jessie wants to be Lassie |
| If Lucy and Jessie could only combine |
| I could tell you someone |
| Who would finally feel just fine |
