A Tight-Knit Family

MARVIN:
Well, the situation's this
Its not tough to comprehend
I divorced my wife
I left my child
And I ran off with a friend

But I want a tight-knit family
I want a group that harmonizes
I want my wife and kid and friend
To pretend
Time will mend
Our pain

So I make them interact
So I don't go by the book
We all eat as one-
Wife, friend, and son-
And I sing out as I cook

I want a tight-knit family.
I hope you all enjoy linguine.
Talk till you hear the dinner bell.
Such a dear clientele.

I swear we're gonna come through it.
I fear we'll probably fight,
But nothing's impossible.
Live by your wit-?
Kid, wife, and lover will have to admit
I was right
I cushioned the fall
I want it all
I want it all
I want it?

Love is Blind

MENDEL:
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:
Love is a mess
So's my son, expressly to hurt me
Marvin, my ex-
You've seen him for years-
Told me over the phone to tell you my fears
Do you only treat queers?

MENDEL:
Breathe deep, my dear
You'll find me understanding
Your pain is a priori
Unfold you untold story
Now to break bread
Loosen your glands
Put your head in my hands

TRINA:
I'm everything he wanted
It's time I put it all together
The date was set
My father let my marry
I married. I?
Then Marvin came from work
Sat me down on the bed
He told me how he loved me
How needed, that thought valued me
I have?

MENDEL: What?

MARVIN: (as Trina mouths this) Syphilis

TRINA: He said

MENDEL: Good

TRINA: I have

MENDEL: Yes?

MARVIN: (Trina mouths) Syphilis

TRINA: It's true

MENDEL: Good

TRINA: I had something rotten
Which appears thought now it's well forgo, an?

MARVIN: Maybe, darling, so do you

TRINA: Maybe, darling, so do you

TRINA: (to Marvin) I am probably diseased

MENDEL: You're a lovely girl

TRINA: (to Marvin) And so easily appeased

MENDEL: What a lovely girl, though she's probably diseased

TRINA: He took pains to not excited us
He explains I've?

MARVIN: Hepatitis

TRINA: Too

MARVIN, JASON, AND WHIZZER: Hepa hepa hepatitis hepatitis hepatitis

MENDEL: 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?

MENDEL: Yes?

JASON: Daddy is a prick

MENDEL: What?

TRINA: He said?

MENDEL: Yes?

JASON: Daddy isn't mine

MENDEL: Good

TRINA: He filled my coats
With candies and notes, with 'Will you be my valentine'?

MARVIN: (To Whizzer) Will you be my valentine?

TRINA: This gets harder to believe

MENDEL: You're a damaged girl

TRINA: I've a scalpel up my sleeve

ALL: What a damaged girl

MENDEL: Do not ever slit your wrists

TRINA: I've missed him; he's still missing
Don't make noise, but daddy's kissing boys

ALL: Petty, petty, petty, petty

MENDEL AND 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

MARVIN/ OTHERS:
Love is crazy/ Love-
Love is often boring
Love stinks/ Love-
Love is pretty often debris
When you find/ Love-
What you find
Then never, never, never, never, never/ Love-
Do it over again

Love reads like a bad biography/ Love-
All the names are changed to protect the innocent/ Love-

ALL: Love is blind

MENDEL: My name is Mendel
I treat her husband
I think she's very insecure
But so am I
I've never married
Work, work is my passion
Or perhaps that's an alibi

(speak) I don't care to discuss it.

(sing) I think she's charming
I think she's eager
That's unprofessional and mean
But still it's true

ALL: His name is Mendel

WHIZZER: Ah-ah

MENDEL: Return next Friday I admit I admire you

Thrill of First Love

WHIZZER: Pick up all your clothes

MARVIN: Whizzer begs

WHIZZER: Whizzer knows

MARVIN: Shave your legs

WHIZZER: Make me sick

MARVIN: You're a prick

WHIZZER: God you're impossible
We've been together for nine months

MARVIN: Uh' ten months

WHIZZER: Nine Months

MARVIN: Ten Months

WHIZZER: Nine months

MARVIN: Ten months
We are the salt of the bourgeoisie

WHIZZER: While I put the steak in?

MARVIN: I bring home the bacon

BOTH: And we're proud to say we love it how we

MARVIN/ WHIZZER: Don't/ Won't

MARVIN; Don't

WHIZZER: Won't

BOTH: Agree

WHIZZER: Everything he owns is vile
Marvin doesn't care
A whit
Marvin doesn't share
My devotion to
Style
Men from France can cancel a debt
Men in cufflinks make me forget my name
I intend to upset
This regrettable game

MARVIN: Whizzer takes me by the neck

WHIZZER: Isn't that a French lapel?

MARVIN: Whizzer has unlimited knowledge of Dreck

WHIZZER: Send me flowers

MARVIN: Mention is made?

WHIZZER: Make them roses

MARVIN: Attention is paid in full

WHIZZER: See how quickly he sours

MARVIN: When he pushes, I pull

WHIZZER: Pick up your clothes, Marvin breeding shows Marvin

MARVIN: I was rich
He was horny

WHIZZER: We fit like a glove

MARVIN: Close your eyes, Whizzer

WHIZZER: Passion dies
But I'd kill for that thrill of first love

BOTH: We ask for passion at all times
We stand for passion and drink this toast

WHIZZER: Still it's awfully trying?

MARVIN: And we're not denying?

BOTH: That of all the lesser passions
We like fighting most

MARVIN: Whizzer drinks too much to see
What a joy is chastity
What a joy is saving his joys
For one man

WHIZZER: Leave me

MARVIN: Love me

WHIZZER: Don't be a fool

MARVIN: Want me

WHIZZER: Feed me

MARVIN: No one's so cruel and cheap

WHIZZER: What I love I devour

MARVIN: What you love you devour? What I covet I keep

Isn't that right, Whizzer?
Let's both fight, Whizzer!

WHIZZER: I was trained in karate

MARVIN: I'm best when I cheat
So I'll cheat, Whizzer, and I'll shove
And I'll kill for that thrill of first love

WHIZZER: We've been together for nine months-

MARVIN: Ten months

WHIZZER: Nine months

MARVIN: We've been together for ten months

WHIZZER: Nine months

MARVIN: Ten months
In fact we've almost survived a year

WHIZZER: True, but

BOTH: Who is counting?
We're too busy mounting
A display of our affection
That is so sincere

(30 measure interlude)

BOTH: Passion dies

MARVIN: Passion dies

WHIZZER: I would kill for that thrill of first love

MARVIN: I would kill for that thrill

WHIZZER: I would kill for that thrill of first love-

MARVIN: Of first love- I would kill for that thrill

WHIZZER: I would kill for that thrill of first

MARVIN: I would kill for that thrill of first

BOTH: Love, love, lo-ve!
