William Finn This Had Better Come To A Stop
[WHIZZER]
Late for dinner, late again
[WHIZZER & TRINA]
Late for dinner, late again
[WHIZZER, MARVIN, JASON, & TRINA]
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late, late, late, late
Late for dinner, late again
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
Making 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 tragic 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 & 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
I'm not so rich
But, hell, I'm smart
Love me
[WHIZZER & TRINA]
Brains or money?
[WHIZZER AND TRINA, spoken]
No
[MARVIN]
Love me, please
Or break my heart
[WHIZZER & TRINA]
This is all very neat
This is all very smart
[MARVIN]
This is all very neat
This is all very neat
This is all very smart
[MARVIN]
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
This had better come to an end
[TRINA]
Chop chop chop chop chop
I chopped it
I served his food
The asshole forced me
[WHIZZER, MENDEL, AND JASON]
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
[TRINA]
And still the bastard divorced me
[TRINA]
It isn't like he says
You probably hurt his pride
He's got to have it all
He's like a baby who's denied
[MARVIN]
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late-
[OTHERS]
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
[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, spoken]
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
Why, Marvin
Try, Marvin
Bend
This had better come—
This had better come to a—
This 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
