[irving]
sit down, my dear
i hear you have a problem
i’m sure you’re not disgusting or indiscreet
take a load off your feet

[trina]
we are two girls!

[miss goldberg]
we are two girls!

[trina & miss goldberg]
one by birth, the other by marriage
we are two girls
and something we found
only jewish men are still around

[irving]
breathe deep, my dear
you’ll find me understanding
your pain is a priori
unfold your untold story
now to break bread
loosen your glands
put your heads in my hands
[trina]
i’m everything he wanted
it’s time we put it all together
the date was set
my fathеr let me marry
we marriеd, we*

then marvin came from work
sat me down on the bed
he told me how he loved me how he needed and/or valued me
“i have syphilis,” he said

[irving]
good

[trina]
“i have–

[irving]
yes?

[trina]
“–syphilis,” it’s true

[irving]
good
[trina]
i had something rotten
which appeared, though now it’s well forgotten*
maybe darling, so do you

[marvin]
[?]
i think it’s swell

[trina]
i am probably diseased

[irving]
you’re a lovely girl

[trina]
and so easily appeased

[irving]
what a lovely girl!
though you’re probably diseased*

[trina]
he took pains, but he’s delight us[?]
he had brains and hepatitis too
[men]
hepa*hepa*hepatitis
hepatitis, hepatitis

[irving]
love is blind
love can tell a million stories
love’s unkind
spiteful in a million ways

[trina]
then i stayed home from work
took good care of my men
they faked despair, they wet their bed
they combed their hair, they acted dead
one said “daddy is a pr*ck”

[irving]
oh?

[trina]
one said “daddy isn’t mine”

[irving]
good!

[trina]
he filled my coats with candies and notes with

[trina & marvin]
“will you be my valentine?”

[trina]
this gets harder to believe

[irving]
you’re a damaged girl

[trina]
i’ve a scalpel up my sleeve

[men]
what a damaged girl

[irving]
[?] …slit your wrists

[trina]
i’ve missed him, he’s still missing
don’t make noise, and daddy’s kissing
boys!

[men]
petty, petty, petty, petty

[irving & trina]
love is blind
love can tell a million stories
love’s unkind
spiteful in a million ways

[all]
love is blind
love can tell a million stories
love’s unkind
spiteful in a million ways

[trina]
i’m everything he wanted
it’s time we put it all together
the plans were made
my father made me marry
we married
he’s mine!
