Marvin’s Final Words from How America Got Its Name / Your Lips and Me (Reprise)

[MARVIN, spoken]
The thing about explorers is: they discover things that are already there. Columbus closed his diary and went ashore

[HIS WIFE]
Well, my husband divorced his wife last weekend
He was dying to play the clown
So he kissed the two boys, the bird and me, then
Flew off with Whizzer Brown
The neighbors love me
They say I'm a fool
But I'm just practicing my calisthenics and the Golden Rule

I'll be brave, dear
You go on digging your grave, dear
I didn't know I'd make you lonely
I thought you'd agree
But when I saw your lips
I knew they didn't belong
No, they didn't belong
I'm sure they didn't belong
To me...

Scrubby dubby dubby
Look at Marvin take a shower
Look at Marvin in the tubby
Scrubby dubby dubby
He is soapy with the soap he uses
Everyone can see that he's a wet Marvin boy

[MARVIN]
Eyes and nose

Neck and chest

Groin and knees

All the rest
[SWEETHEART] (scrubbing him)

Scrubby dubby

Scrubby dubby

Scrubby dubby
[SWEETHEART]
Scrubby dubby dubby dubby

For Marvin

[MARVIN]
On my fourteenth birthday
Nothing was ready
Nothing on the table so I
Showed some wit

[MARVIN]
And whaddya know?

Whaddya know?

Whaddya no-
Body listened to me
So I threw a fit
[LADIES]

What?

What?
And whaddya know?
I got my breakfast
The likes of which you've never seen

[LADIES]
Poor Miss Goldberg
Poor Miss Goldberg
Poor Miss Goldberg

[MARVIN]
I blew out the candle in a single breath
Then I thought of love
Then I thought of death
Then I made a deal
The contents of which I cannot reveal

[LADIES]
Poor Miss Goldberg in a rape
Poor darling, now with Marvin
Poor Miss Goldberg in a rape
Poor darling, now with Marvin

[TEACHER]
My body is not yours to hold

[LADIES]
Her body is not yours to hold
Poor Miss Goldberg in a rape
Poor darling, now with Marvin

[LADIES]
Poor Miss Goldberg in a rape
Poor darling, now with Marvin
[MARVIN]
Who's that saying that?
Who's that saying that?
Stop it. Stop it
Stop it!
