Bebe Neuwirth - When You're an Addams lyrics

GOMEZ (Spoken): Ah, the intoxicating spell of the graveyard. Once a year when the last leaf of autumn falls, we gather to honor the great cycle life and d**h. Come,every member of our clan - living, dead - and undecided and let us celebrate what is to be an Addams. GOMEZ (Sung): When you're an Addams You need to have a little moonlight When you're an Addams You need to feel a little chill You have to see the world in shades of gray You have to put some poison in your day MORTICIA (Spoken): The's the way GOMEZ & MORTICIA: When you're an Addams GOMEZ: You need to have a sense of humor GOMEZ & MORTICIA: When you're an Addams MORTICIA: You need to have a taste for d**h GOMEZ & MORTICIA: Who cares about the world outside And what it wants from you When you're and Addams You do what Addams always do! ADDAMS FAMILY: When you're an Addams GOMEZ: You gotta have a lotta pa**ion ADDAMS FAMILY: When you're an Addams MORTICIA: You need to really love your wife GOMEZ (Spoken): Several times a day ADDAMS FAMILY: You're happy when your toes are in the mud FESTER & GRANDMA: You smile a bit the moment you smell blood AA-OOOH!!!
