where did we go wrong? - andrew lippa lyrics
morticia (spoken):
she’s perky
gomez (spoken):
she’s bubbly
morticia (spoken):
she’s optimistic
gomez (spoken):
where did we go wrong?
morticia:
we taught her to hunt
gomez:
we taught her to aim
morticia:
we gave her a bow
gomez:
we gave her no shame
morticia:
we gave what we had
gomez:
made sure she was bad
both:
did all that we could to keep her sad
gomez:
we told her to stay away from modern jazz
morticia:
we gave her that week long trip to alcatraz
gomez:
we promised she’d be equipped
both:
and filled her crypt with woe
what’d we know?
gomez:
we took her to funerals in the morning mist
morticia:
we took her to slaughter houses
gomez:
schindler’s list
morticia:
we taught her to scowl and sneer and domineer
gomez:
on cue
both:
so
what did we do?
where did we go wrong?
gomez (spoken):
are we good parents?
both:
where did we go wrong?
morticia (spoken):
are we cliche?
both:
somewhere in between
guilt and guillotine
we forgot to notice that our daughter lost her way
where did we go wrong?
morticia:
and can we fix this?
gomez:
maybe it’s a p-ssing phase
both:
but if she’s going wrong
then what will change her ways?
gomez (spoken):
that’s it! we cancel the dinner
morticia (spoken):
we’ll circle the wagons
gomez (spoken):
and give these “goody-licious” beinekes the boot!
morticia:
we must intervene
gomez:
we shouldn’t delay
morticia:
she’s barely eighteen
gomez:
so what do we say?
morticia:
we know the occult
gomez:
that’s certainly true
morticia:
we’re to consult
gomez:
morticia, with you
morticia:
so why all the fuss?
gomez:
my darling, discuss
morticia:
she needs only us
gomez:
it’s us, only us
morticia:
we’ve always been there for her
to swear for her
gomez:
discourage dental care for her
both:
do well for her
excel for her
make home a living h-ll for her
so where did we go wrong
is not the question
resolute and strong
is our next move
gomez:
we’ll tell her today
morticia:
do what we say
both:
send all the beinekes back to the fray
turn them away at first sight
and that’s where we’ll go right
both (spoken):
no dinner tonight!
