Mel Brooks Join The Family Business
[Victor]
We've been the pride of Romania
since Twelve-O-One,
Passed on for generations,
Father to Son
Descended from gypsies,
as proud as we can be.
Don't risk my curse, it could be worse
Embrace your fam'ly tree!
Join the fam'ly bus'ness
Learn the family trade
Make yourself a monster
Make the world afraid!
Join the fam'ly bus'ness,
You must take the fam'ly name!
Follow in our footsteps
and you'll win eternal fame!
The Roqueforts are celebrated
for their Roquefort cheese,
the Rothschilds are famous for their wines
Hersheys have their choc'lates
and Liptons have their teas
But when it comes to making monsters, You can't beat
the Frankensteins!
Join the fam'ly bus'ness
Rob a grave or two,
Stop the shop from closing,
It all depends on you!
Uphold the fam'ly honor,
you must toe the fam'ly line,
Join the fam'ly bus'ness
Join the fam'ly bus'ness
Join the fam'ly bus'ness
For your name is Frankenstein!
Meet your family!

Come up with a brilliant theorem,
take you knife,
