WHIZZER: Late for dinner, late again
WHIZZER, MARVIN, AND TRINA:
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late, late, late, late
MARVIN:
Whizzer's supposed to always be here
Make the dinner, set to screw
That's what pretty boys should do
Check their hairlines, make the dinner
And love me
This is going nowhere and fast, Whizzer
This little thing that we have will not last
Don't feel responsible, after all it's through
WHIZZER: I'm not responsible
MARVIN:
Life can be wonderful
Isn't this wonderful?
And this had better come to a stop, Whizzer
Now, Whizzer, ciao Whizzer, bend
This had better come to an end
TRINA:
I was supposed to make the dinner
Make it pretty on his plate
Every wife should pull her weight
Have it ready, make it tasty
And love him
This had better come to a stop doctor
This has been a lousy and horrible flop
MENDEL: Don't feel responsible,
after all it's through
TRINA: Who is responsible?
MENDEL:
Don't ask me questions!
I'm frightened of questions
But grateful that it's come to a stop, Trina
Smile, Trina, I'll help you mend
WHIZZER AND TRINA:
I met this man today
He wasn't very smart, but he was rich, Marvin
Which, Marvin, do you prefer I lust for?
Brains or money?
MARVIN: Brains
WHIZZER AND TRINA: Brains or money?
MARVIN: I'm not that rich, but, hell, I'm smart
Love me
WHIZZER AND TRINA: No
MARVIN: Love me, please, or break my heart
WHIZZER AND TRINA: This is all very neat
MARVIN: This is all very neat. This is all very neat.
WHIZZER AND TRNA: This is all very smart
MARVIN:
This is all very smart
This had better come to a stop, Mendel
Don't touch me, don't condescend
This had better come
This had better come to a
This, this, this, this
This had better come to an end
TRINA:
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop
I chopped it and served his food
The asshole forced me
WHIZZER, MENDEL, AND JASON:
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop
TRINA: And still the bastard divorced me
WHIZZER, MENDEL, AND JASON:
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop
MARVIN: Late for dinner, late again
TRINA: It isn't like he said
MARVIN: Late for dinner, late again
TRINA: You probably hurt his pride
MARVIN: Late for dinner, late again
TRINA: He's got to have it all
MARVIN: Late for dinner, late again
TRINA: He's like a baby who's denied
WHIZZER, MENDEL, AND JASON:
This had better come to a stop, Marvin
WHIZZER, TRINA, MENDEL, AND JASON:
This has been a lousy but fabulous flop
WHIZZER: Why is it always ourselves who have to change?
MARVIN: This is incredibly boring
WHIZZER, TRINA, MENDEL, AND JASON:
You've got a temper that redefines temper
And this had better come to a stop, Marvin
Now, Marvin, ciao Marvin, bend
This had better come
This had better come to a
This, this, this
This had better come to an end
MARVIN: This had better come to an end
ALL: This had better come to an end
