[MARVIN]
Well, the situation's this:
I could use a little drink
I divorced my wife
She dried her eyes
Then she ran off with my shrink
But I want a tight-knit family
I want a wife who knows what love is
Maybe she does, I'm too damn peeved
Self-absorbed
Self-deceived
Who knows?
[MENDEL]
I should worry what he says
Like his words could hurt me worse
Marvin acts bereft
My acts of theft
Are incredibly perverse
[MARVIN, spoken]
You said it
[MENDEL, spoken]
It's embarrassing, but
(sung)
I'll get a nice, tight family
Son with a brain and nice, bright mother
Yes, I feel guilt
Yes, I'm annoyed
So was Jung, so was Freud!
But I...
[MARVIN]
But I...
[MENDEL]
...I know you'll come through it
[MARVIN]
...I can't believe she loves you
[MENDEL]
If so...
[MARVIN]
Why...
[MENDEL]
You'll end looking rich
[MARVIN]
I'm sure she cannot love you!
But nothing's impossible!
[MENDEL, spoken]
Look who's got power
[MARVIN, spoken]
Ah, King of the Losers!
[MENDEL]
At eighty an hour!
He can bitch
I can stall
[MARVIN]
I want
[MENDEL]
I've got
[MARVIN]
I want
[BOTH]
It all!
I'm sure we're gonna come through it!
No doubt, the bastard prepares!
We're needy and wanting
We're greedy as swine!
[MENDEL]
I just bought a family
[MARVIN]
Well, the family was mine!
[BOTH]
But who dares
Dares to brawl?
[BOTH]
I got it all!
I got it all!
I got it all!
