William Finn - Tight Knit Family (reprise) lyrics

MARVIN Well, the situation's this; I don't want to cause a stink I divorced my wife She dried her eyes Then she ran off with my shrink But I want a tight-knit family I want a wife who knows what love is Maybe she does, I'm too damn peeved Too self-absorbed Too self-deceived Who knows? MENDEL I should worry what he says Like his words could hurt me worse Marvin acts bereft My acts of theft Are incredibly perverse MARVIN You said it MENDEL It's embarra**ing But I've got a nice, tight family Son with a brain and nice, bright mother Yes, I feel guilt. Yes, I'm annoyed So was Jung, so was Freud! But I, I know you'll come through it MARVIN I...I can't believe she loves you MENDEL If so, you'll end looking rich MARVIN Why, I'm sure she cannot love you! But nothing's impossible! MENDEL Look who's got power MARVIN Ah, King of the Losers! MENDEL At eighty an hour! He can b**h I can stall MARVIN I want MENDEL I've got MARVIN I want BOTH It all! I'm sure we're gonna come through it! No doubt, the ba*tard prepares! We're needy and wanting We're greedy as swine! MENDEL I just got a family MARVIN Well, the family was mine! BOTH But he dares Dares to brawl? MENDEL-----MARVIN I got it all! I want it all! I got it all! I want it all! I got it all! I want it all!
