Jason's Therapy lyrics

[JASON]

Mr. Mendel

I get apoplexy thinking of my father

I resemble him in far too many ways

His sad demeanor

The way he acts the swine

At least his room is cleaner than mine

Is it fatal?

Do you see real similarities between us?

He and Whizzer live like...

Well, I think it's clear

What do I do?

What do I say?

How do I ask?

What do I hope for?

Is it my mind?

Love isn't free

If love isn't blind

What do I see?

[MENDEL]

Stop!

Look around you

No one's screaming at you

So you feel alright for about ten minutes

If you feel alright for ten minutes

Feel alright for twenty minutes

Feel alright for forty minutes

Drop it and smile

Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?

Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?

Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?

[JASON]

Is this therapy?

[TRINA]

Chop chop chop chop chop

I chopped it

It's a gourmet version of chicken merengo

Took me all day

I'll say 't was worth the time

I lie

[MARVIN]

Why is he always here?

[WHIZZER]

The psychiatrist returning

Returning

Five sessions later

[MENDEL]

Try to forget all things homely

Try to forget all things snide

Nothing's as good as you recall

Count what's good, then divide

If you count, it's alright

You can figure out the world

You can add and subtract at will

You can cover up the past

You can kill the pain

Very easily

[JASON]

Is this therapy?

[MARVIN, TRINA, WHIZZER, & MENDEL]

Right, this is therapy!

[JASON]

So scram

Mr. Mendel

As regarding your intentions to my mother

Are they everything a woman would desire?

Her hand is ready

It only needs a ring

I'll buy confetti

And sing

I'm embarrassed

It's not my responsibility to ask you

But I wonder if it's ever crossed your mind?

[MENDEL]

What do I say?

Where do I look?

Why do I laugh?

How do I answer?

Is it my mind?

Love isn't free

If love isn't blind

What do I see?

[JASON]

Stop!

Look around you

A lot of nice furniture

Someone's bringing you dinner

Someone brought you your lunch

Someone's washing your laundry

Washing your socks

Jesus Christ!

Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?

Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?

[JASON/MENDEL]

Why don't you/I feel alright for the rest of your/my life?

Whoo!

[MARVIN, TRINA, WHIZZER, JASON, & MENDEL]

Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?

Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?

Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?

Feel, feel, feel, feel alright

Feel, feel, feel, feel alright

Feel, feel, feel, feel alright

Feel alright for the rest of your

Rest of your

Life
