A Helluva Day
[Alarm clock rings]

[WIFE]
It's a helluva day
It's a wonderful morning
What a wonderful way
To say all's fine
It's your moment to shine
Just forget last night
This itty-bitty glass of wine
Helps us start our day out right
Now come and eat your petit dejeuner
Time to wake up
Time to wake up, Marvin
And face the day
Listen my grace
Our eight-year-old is crying
Please show your face

It's a nice easy hour
Soon I'm belting our child
In an hour it's time to climb the walls
If our eight-year-old crawl
How should I react?
I think he plays with girls and dolls
Who can know what love he's lacked?
But me, I try to send
Those blues away
Time to wake up
Time to wake up, Marvin
And face the day
Time to wake up
Time to...

[MARVIN, spoken]
What time is it?

[GOLDBERG]
Time...
To wake up
Time to wake up, Marvin
Time to wake up, Marvin
Time to wake up [GOLDBERG]
Time...
To wake up
Time to wake up, Marvin
Time to wake up, Marvin
Time to wake up [WIFE]
Time to wake up
Time to wake up, Marvin
And face the day... [GOLDBERG]
(quietly)
Time...
To wake up
Time to wake up, Marvin
Time to wake up [WIFE]
(quietly)
Time to wake up
Time to wake up, Marvin
And face the day [SWEETHEART]
(not quietly)
We...
Can't stand here, Marvin
Waiting forever
So, move your ass, Marvin! [LADIES]
Time to wake up
Time to wake up, Marvin...
And face the day
