Bartolo
When gentlemen are eaten up with jealousy,
They make themselves exceedingly ridiculous,
For everything around they tinted yellow see -
Their antics and extravagances tickle us.
All.
Their antics and extravagances tic, tic, tic, tic, tickle us,
Their antics and extravagances tic, tic, tic, tic, tickle us!

Bartolo
Where gentlemen are eaten up with jealousy
They make themselves exceedingly,
exceedingly ridiculous,
For ev'rything around they tinted yellow see -
Their antics, yes, their antics and
extravagances tickle us!

Here's a gentleman, as fierce as a Mahometan,
So carried off by jealousy vehicular,
He's down on an unfortunate Automaton!
Some people are so terribly particular!
All
Some people are so terribly partic, tic, tic, tic, ticular!
Some people are so terribly partic, tic, tic, tic, ticular!

So carried off by jealousy,

When a lady is disposed to be tyrannical,
She's equal to unlimited iniquity:
And flirting may be flirting, though mechanical -
A fact that has the sanction of antiquity!
All

And flirting may be flirting, though mechanical -
