Under the bus, Carmenolyn!

Dear Jansy and Dear Scouse,
Habanera, be damned! I needs most humbly and publicly beg both your
pardons -- despite the apparent mathematical logic of "prends garde
deux trois" the libretto actually says "prends garde a toi." However,
I have jamais jamais jamais heard it sung that way, but I accept my
error and I hope you'll excuse me while I go throw myself under a bus
or something.
a jamais!

p.s. In researching the words to Bizet's famous Havanese song I
discovered that in Merimée's Carmen the tale is written by Don Jose,
in jail awaiting execution for the murder of Carmen. If I ever knew
that, I had forgotten. Adios!
