[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 & 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, & 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, & Jason]

This had better come to a stop, Marvin

[Whizzer, Trina, Mendel, & 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, & 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
