Carolee Carmello - One Normal Night lyrics

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 FESTER: Only affairs of the heart Spoken: Your turn- ANCESTORS: Bringing themlove FESTER: Yes! ANCESTORS: Love FESTER: Yes! ANCESTORS: Love FESTER: Right! ANCESTORS: Love FESTER: Good! 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 Get! ADDAMS FAMILY/ANCESTORS: One normal night One normal night One normal night Wednesday wants One normal night One normal night Give her just One normal night One normal night One normal night Wednesday wants GOMEZ/MORTICIA/ANCESTORS: One FESTER/ANCESTORS: One GRANDMA/PUGSLEY/ANCESTORS: One WEDNESDAY/ANCESTORS: One ADDAMS FAMILY/ANCESTORS: One normal night We'll comprehend we'll tend her every need WEDNESDAY All I want All I ask You'll tend my every need BEINEKES When we arrive We'll come alive To make this night succeed LUCAS: Just be respectable Don't make an odd remark MAL/ALICE: Okay, okay WEDNESDAY Keep undectable our pa**ion for the dark ADDAMS FAMILY / ANCESTORS: Just as you say WEDNESDAY / LUCAS: And then it's paradise Right here in Central Park ALL: In one normal Informal One normals DOORBELL: Ding dong!
