Falsettos

Tight Knit Family (Reprise)

Falsettos


[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
Self-absorbed
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 embarrassing
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 bitch
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 bastard prepares!
We're needy and wanting
We're greedy as swine!

[Mendel]
I just got a family

[Marvin]
The family was mine!

[Both]
But he dares
Dares to brawl?

[Mendel]
I got it all!
I got it all!
I got it all! Marvin
I want it all!
I want it all!
I want it all!
