WEDNESDAY
They're normal people
Not like you
Not like me
Please can't we be an average family!
One normal night
That's all I want
That's all I need from you
One normal house
Without a mouse
To feed a plant or two
You must admit we aren't what people call "laid back"
So can't we muse a bit and lose the basic black?
Whoa, one normal night
With normal people on their way
Just one normal night
(Spoken):
Whaddaya say?
MORTICIA
One normal night?
WEDNESDAY
To be polite
To do the least you can
GOMEZ (Spoken):
One normal eve?
WEDNESDAY
Can you achive
A kind of common man?
You have to swear to me
Yes, promise to the core
It's almost six o'clock
They're almost at the door!
On all the Addams ancestors
Who've ever walked aright
One normal night!
ANCESTORS
Doo doo doo doo
LUCAS (Spoken):
Wait! This is the place where I first saw her! Wednesday, with a crossbow.
And she looked like Diana The Huntress!
MAL (Spoken):
Who?
ALICE (Spoken):
He's just expressing himself, dear. 'Expressing is the poet's art. Just simply say what's in your heart.'
MAL (Spoken):
Lucas, your mother's rhyming again. I say we take a rain check and go back to the hotel.
LUCAS (Spoken):
No!
Sung:
One normal night
No, not one poem
Not one inspiring word
One normal scene
Complete routine
Tonight can't be absurd
Please don't embarra** me
Or be completely rude
Don't make a fuss about the house
About the food
Whoa! One normal night
I know it's big but can't you see
This one normal night is for me!
FESTER (Spoken):
He seems like a nice young man!
ANCESTORS (Spoken):
They're not right for each other/He's from Ohio/It'll never work
FESTER (Spoken):
Not right for eachother?! What do you mean, "They're not right for each other?"
Sung:
Was Napoleon right for Josephine?
Was nausea right for Dramamine?
Were the 80's right for the drum machine
Who's to say?
Who's to say?
Was ballet right for Balanchine?
Was Polio right for the Salk vaccine?
Were you folks right for the mezzanine?
Who's to say?
One normal night is a perilous trick
Normal is hard to attain
Children are crazy and parents are quick
Pa**ions are hard to explain
But this is their moment and this is your chance
So if you don't want to remain
Start singing of love
ANCESTORS:
What?
FESTER:
Love
ANCESTORS:
No!
FESTER:
Love!
ANCESTORS:
Why?
FESTER:
Love
ANCESTORS:
Ugh

Only affairs of the heart
Spoken:

ANCESTORS:

FESTER:

ANCESTORS:

FESTER:

ANCESTORS:

FESTER
Love lets your spirits depart
So let the normalcy start!
FESTER & ANCESTORS:
Protect and rally round
Let's aid them and abet
One normal night is what they'll
FESTER
