My Father’s a Homo/ Everyone Tells Jason To See a Psychiatrist

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

[Jason]

My father's a homo

My mother's not thrilled at all

Father homo

What about chromosomes?

Do they carry?

Will they carry?

Who's the homo now?

My father said that one day I'll grow up to be president

And that idea's not so wild

I don't live the life of a normal child

'Cause I'm too smart for my own good

And I'm too good for my sorry little life

My mother's no wife

And my father's no man

No man at all!

[Trina]

Honey, why don't you go out and play?

[Jason]

No

(Jason begins to play chess with himself. Quickly playing one side, turning the board, moving a piece, turning the board again, etc.)

[Trina]

Sweetheart, I worry

Sweetheart, I do

I worry a lot

I worry a lot

I worry a lot

I could take you to the Jewish center?

[Jason mocks throwing up.]

[Trina]

I think you like playing chess alone

That's not normal

[Jason]

What is normal?

[Trina]

I wouldn't know

Why don't you speak on the telephone

With anyone, just get a friend—

Anyone

Darling, please, see a psychiatrist

He's quite a guy

And I admire how he acts

No one is saying you're a sick neurotic

But you could find some help

Hear me out, please

Yes, you could find some help

He could help you realize

How confused you are!

Yes, it's very clear

Daddy's sincere

But a schmo!

You and I must trust our emotions

Make no commotions

Will you go?

[Jason]

No!

[Marvin]

Jason, please see a psychiatrist

He's just a psychiatrist

I'll pay the bill until you're old

[Marvin]

Jason

​Please see

​A psychiatrist

He's just

​A psychiatrist

I'll pay the

​Bill

​Until

​You're old Trina

Darling please listen

​To your father here

He's not a genius type

Lord knows, but he

​Knows what's true

He chose a man who I

​Think knows the answers

​To all your problems

Mendel understands

​What's bothering you

[Jason]

No

I won't go

I will not go

Never never

Never never

Never

[Jason]

Forget it

[All]

What a mess this is

This family!

Experts can see

This is so!

[Photo flash; they all make faces like a parody of a happy family portrait, then relax.]

Photographs can't

Capture our magic

We're simply tragic!

[Marvin & Trina]

Will you go?

[Jason]

No

[Marvin & Trina]

Jason, please see a psychiatrist!

He's not—

[Jason]

I won't say boo!

[Marvin & Trina]

—Exorbitant

And he's very smart!

[Jason]

If intelligence were the only criteria

Then I wouldn't really need a psychiatrist, would I?

[Trina]

No

[Jason]

Would I?

[Marvin]

No

[Jason]

Just because you failed as parents

[Trina]

Get thee to a psychiatrist!

[Marvin]

Hey, kid, listen—

[Jason]

I don't need—

[Trina & Marvin]

He needs a psychiatrist!

[Jason]

I want—

[Trina & Marvin]

A psychiatrist!

[Jason]

I wanna speak with Whizzer!

[Marvin]

Speak with whom?

[Jason]

With Whizzer

[Marvin]

With Whizzer?

[Trina]

With Whizzer

[Jason]

With Whizzer

[Marvin]

Oh my God

[Trina, Marvin & Jason]

Whizzer!

Whizzer!

Whizzer!

Whizzer!

[Whizzer kneels between Marvin and Jason.]

[Jason]

Whizzer, do you think I should see a psychiatrist?

[Whizzer]

I'm not sure, Jason

Jason, maybe so

Absolutely, Jason

[Jason]

Okay, I'll go

[Whizzer]

He'll go

[Jason]

I'll go

[Trina]

He'll go!

[Jason]

If he comes here

[Marvin]

If he comes here?

[Trina]

He might come here

[Marvin]

They don't make house calls

[Whizzer's watch alarm begins beeping.]

[Whizzer]

Oh!

[Whizzer turns off the alarm.]
