The Story Of Lucy And Jessie - Alexis Smith

作曲:Stephen Sondheim

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 précis

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
