Catherine Cox - How Marvin Eats His Breakfast (1985) lyrics

[LADIES, spoken] How Marvin eats his breakfast How Marvin eats his breakfast How Marvin eats his breakfast [MARVIN] I love being Marvin! I love being Marvin! Marvin turned fourteen today And eats the very best breakfast in town [LADIES, spoken] How Marvin eats his breakfast [MARVIN] Everybody into the kitchen Here comes Marvin Banging his groin with his fist [LADIES] He mumbles in To insist: [MARVIN] No one looks busy in this kitchen And my breakfast isn't ready And my stomach aches I mean specifically the maid Who is reclining like she laid the golden egg I want some chatter and some gruel Make me want to drool Try to make me hungry [LADIES] Ohhh... [MARVIN] Cat got your tongue? [LADIES] Marvin always knows the sort of answers he'll allow [MARVIN] I may be sly dear, but not young [LADIES] "Wait until I'm older then I'll k** you" Is his one unspoken vow [MARVIN] I need my breakfast now! [drum break] [ALL] Everybody into the kitchen Here comes Marvin [LADIES] Aiming a gun at the maid: He shoots her head, she falls dead [MARVIN] Oh Jesus Christ it wasn't loaded She's an actress from the old school And a lousy chef I don't want miracles from heaven Just some eggies over spinach over toast No, I will not apologize! She should win a prize: "Very best Emoting" [LADIES] Ohhhh... [MARVIN] That girl can't cook [LADIES] Maybe she can't cook But have you seen her milk a cow? [MARVIN] And I can read her like a book [LADIES] Marvin wouldn't read that kind of novel anyhow [MARVIN] I need my breakfast Now! [drum break] [MARVIN] People, people [LADIES] People, people [MARVIN] Stop your staring [LADIES] Stop your staring [MARVIN] People, people Stop your staring Get to work My breakfast isn't made yet [LADIES] People, people Stop your staring Get to work His breakfast isn't... [ALL] Life is lonely Life is rotten [MARVIN] And thankfully short Thankfully short Thankfully short [LADIES, spoken] Like Marvin [MARVIN] Everybody into the kitchen Here comes M-M-M-M-M-M-M-... [LADIES] Marvin! [MARVIN] Marvin! [LADIES] Waving his hands like a twit He throws a fit Then a knife [MARVIN] You call this breakfast on my birthday? This is sh**, this isn't breakfast I could crack your feet [LADIES] No, no... [MARVIN] I mean for God's sake Am I talking to the wall? When I say breakfast I mean food I dreamt last night of hips and legs Now I want some eggs Things I might Relate to [LADIES] Ohhhh... [MARVIN] I'm just a sprite [LADIES] Marvin underestimates the fear that he'll endow [MARVIN] I'll wait here 'til you get it right! [LADIES] Do I? Do I really? Do I really have to show you people how? [MARVIN] I... [ALL] Need my breakfast Now!
