Follies Soundtrack lyrics
THE STORY OF LUCY AND JESSIE lyrics PHYLLIS: 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. CHORUS: Now if you see Lucy "X," Youthful, truthful Lucy "X," Let her know she's better than she suspects. Now if you see Jessie "Y," Faded, jaded Jessie "Y" Tell her that she's sweller than apple pie. Juicy Lucy. Dressy Jessie. Juicy Lucy, Dressy Jessie... PHYLLIS: 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! CHORUS: Juicy Lucy... PHYLLIS: Just fine! CHORUS: Dressy Jessie... PHYLLIS: Just fine! CHORUS: Juicy Lucy... PHYLLIS: Just fine! CHORUS: Dressy Jessie... ALL: Tell 'em that they ought to get together quick, 'Cause getting it together is the whole trick! PHYLLIS: Yeah!
