Mel Brooks - Join The Family Business lyrics

VICTOR: We've been the pride of Romania Since twelve-o-one Pa**ed on for generations Father to son Descended from Gypsies As proud as we can be Don't risk my curse It would be worse Embrace your fam'ly tree! Join the fam'ly bus'ness Learn the fam'ly trade Make yourself a monster Make the world afraid! Join the fam'ly bus'ness You must take the fam'ly name Follow in our footsteps And you'll win eternal fame! The Roqueforts are celebrated For their Roquefort cheese The Rothschilds are famous For their wines Hershey's have their choc'lates And Liptons have their teas But when it comes to making monsters You can't beat the Frankensteins! Join the fam'ly bus'ness Rob a grave or two Stop the shop from closing It all depends on you! Uphold the fam'ly honor You must toe the fam'ly line Join the fam'ly bus'ness Join the fam'ly bus'ness Join the fam'ly bus'ness For your name is Frankenstein! (spoken) Meet your family! ALL (sung): Join the fam'ly bus'ness Show some fam'ly pride MEN: Make yourself a monster . . WOMEN: And then you'll make his bride! VICTOR: Listen to your great, great, great Grandfather Mordecai MORDECAI: Join the fam'ly bus'ness If you don't want to die! ALL: As you know predestination From the day of your creation Has determined you vocation That's a fact 1ST SOLO: Because you are a Frankenstein 2ND SOLO: You have no choice 3RD SOLO: You can't decline 4TH SOLO: So show some spine ALL: It's time to sign The fam'ly pact This is your fate Become a Frankenstein Before it's too late! We know you won't regret it You should express your willingness Why not acquiesce, rea**ess You're under stress VICTOR: Just relax and make a serum Come up with a brilliant theorem Take your knife, create a life ALL: It ain't no fuss! VICTOR: Join the fam'ly enterprise Best be prudent Best be wise! Time to open up your eyes Join the fam'ly bus'ness ALL: Join the fam'ly enterprise Best be prudent Best be wise! Time to open up your eyes Join the fam'ly bus'ness Join the fam'ly enterprise Best be prudent Best be wise! Time to open up your eyes Come on come clean Don't make a scene Your name's not Fronkasteen Join the fam'ly bus'ness Learn the family trade Make yourself a monster Make the world afraid This is one position That you never can resign VICTOR: Do not make a fuss There's nothing to discuss You must be one of us ALL: Young Frankenstein!!
