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

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!
