One Normal Night

They're normal people

Not like you

Not like me

Please can't we be a average family!

One normal night

That's all I want

That's all I need from you

One normal house

Without a mouse

To feed a plant or two

You must admit we aren't what people call laid back

So can't we muse a bit and lose the basic black?

Whoa, one normal night

With normal people on their way

Just one normal night

Whaddaya say?

One normal night?

To be polite

To do the least you can

One normal eve?

Can you achieve

A kind of common man?

You have to swear to me

Yes, promise to the core

It's almost six o'clock

They're almost at the door!

On all the addams ancestors

Who've ever walked aright

One normal night!

(Doo doo doo doo)

Wait! This is the place where I first saw her!

Wednesday, with a crossbow

And she looked like diana the huntress!

Who?

He's just expressing himself, dear

'Expressing is the poet's art

Just simply say what's in your heart

Lucas, your mother's rhyming again

I say we take a rain check and go back to the hotel

No!

One normal night

No, not one poem

Not one inspiring word

One normal scene

Complete routine

Tonight can't be absurd

Please don't embarrass me

Or be completely rude

Don't make a fuss about the house

About the food

Whoa! One normal night

I know it's big but can't you see

This one normal night, is for me!

He seems like a nice young man!

(They're not right for each other) (he's from Ohio) (it'll never work)

Not right for each other?!

What do you mean, they're not right for each other?

Was napoleon right for josephine?

Was nausea right for dramamine?

Were the 80's right for the drum machine

Who's to say?

Who's to say?

Was ballet right for balanchine?

Was polio right for the salk vaccine?

Were you folks right for the mezzanine?

Who's to say?

One normal night is a perilous trick

Normal is hard to attain

Children are crazy and parents are quick

Passions are hard to explain

But this is their moment and this is your chance

So if you don't want to remain

Start singing of love (what?)

Love (no!)

Love (why?)

Love (ugh)

Only affairs of the heart

Your turn-

Bringing them love (yes!)

Love (yes!)

Love (right!)

Love (good!)

Love lets your spirits depart

So let the normalcy start!

Protect and rally round

Let's aid them and abet

One normal night is what they'll

Get!

One normal night!

One normal night!

One normal night!

Wednesday wants

One normal night!

One normal night!

One normal night!

Give her just

One normal night!

One normal night!

One normal night!

Wednesday wants

One

(One normal night) (all I want)

(We'll comprehend) (all I ask)

(We'll tend her every need) (you'll tend my every need)

When we arrive

We'll come alive

To make this night succeed

Just be respectable

Don't make an odd remark

Okay, okay

Keep undetectable our passion for the dark

Just as you say

And then it's paradise

Right here in central park

In one normal

Informal

One normal

(Ding dong!)

Night!
