William Finn
Tight Knit Family (Reprise)
[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, spoken]
It's embarrassing.​
(sung)
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!

[MENDEL, MARVIN]
But I (I)
I know you'll come through it
I can't believe she loves you!
If so (Why?)
You'll end looking rich
I'm sure she cannot love you!

[MARVIN]
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 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 who dares
Dares to brawl?
[MENDEL, MARVIN]
I got it all! (I want it all!)
I got it all! (I want it all!)
I got it all! (I want it all!)
