“A Tight-Knit Family” is Marvin’s “I want” song- clear from the seven times he says the phrase. He clearly expresses his motive for the musical: to turn his ex-wife, gay lover, and biological son into a tight-knit family.
A Tight-Knit Family Lyrics
[MARVIN]
Well, the situation's this
It's 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 the 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
But I want a tight-knit family
I hope you all enjoy linguine
Talk 'til 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!
