WHIZZER: Pick up all your clothes

MARVIN: Whizzer begs

WHIZZER: Whizzer knows

MARVIN: Shave your legs

WHIZZER: Make me sick

MARVIN: You're a prick

WHIZZER: God you're impossible
We've been together for nine months

MARVIN: Uh' ten months

WHIZZER: Nine Months

MARVIN: Ten Months

WHIZZER: Nine months

MARVIN: Ten months
We are the salt of the bourgeoisie

WHIZZER: While I put the steak in?

MARVIN: I bring home the bacon

BOTH: And we're proud to say we love it how we

MARVIN/ WHIZZER: Don't/ Won't

MARVIN; Don't

WHIZZER: Won't

BOTH: Agree

WHIZZER: Everything he owns is vile
Marvin doesn't care
A whit
Marvin doesn't share
My devotion to
Style
Men from France can cancel a debt
Men in cufflinks make me forget my name
I intend to upset
This regrettable game

MARVIN: Whizzer takes me by the neck

WHIZZER: Isn't that a French lapel?

MARVIN: Whizzer has unlimited knowledge of Dreck

WHIZZER: Send me flowers

MARVIN: Mention is made?

WHIZZER: Make them roses

MARVIN: Attention is paid in full

WHIZZER: See how quickly he sours

MARVIN: When he pushes, I pull

WHIZZER: Pick up your clothes,
Marvin breeding shows Marvin

MARVIN: I was rich
He was horny

WHIZZER: We fit like a glove

MARVIN: Close your eyes, Whizzer

WHIZZER: Passion dies
But I'd kill for that thrill of first love

BOTH: We ask for passion at all times
We stand for passion and drink this toast

WHIZZER: Still it's awfully trying?

MARVIN: And we're not denying?

BOTH: That of all the lesser passions
We like fighting most

MARVIN: Whizzer drinks too much to see
What a joy is chastity
What a joy is saving his joys
For one man

WHIZZER: Leave me

MARVIN: Love me

WHIZZER: Don't be a fool

MARVIN: Want me

WHIZZER: Feed me

MARVIN: No one's so cruel and cheap

WHIZZER: What I love I devour

MARVIN: What you love you devour?
What I covet I keep

Isn't that right, Whizzer?
Let's both fight, Whizzer!

WHIZZER: I was trained in karate

MARVIN: I'm best when I cheat
So I'll cheat, Whizzer, and I'll shove
And I'll kill for that thrill of first love

WHIZZER: We've been together for nine months-

MARVIN: Ten months

WHIZZER: Nine months

MARVIN: We've been together for ten months

WHIZZER: Nine months

MARVIN: Ten months
In fact we've almost survived a year

WHIZZER: True, but

BOTH: Who is counting?
We're too busy mounting
A display of our affection
That is so sincere

(30 measure interlude)

BOTH: Passion dies

MARVIN: Passion dies

WHIZZER: I would kill for that thrill of first love

MARVIN: I would kill for that thrill

WHIZZER: I would kill for that thrill of first love-

MARVIN: Of first love- I would kill for that thrill

WHIZZER: I would kill for that thrill of first

MARVIN: I would kill for that thrill of first

BOTH: Love, love, lo-ve!
