When You're An Addams

[Gomez]

Ah, the intoxicating spell of the graveyard

Once a year when the last leaf of autumn falls

We gather to honor the great cycle of life and death

Come, every member of our clan, living, dead

And undecided

And let us celebrate what is to be an Addams

[Gomez]

When you're an Addams

You need to have a little moonlight

When you're an Addams

You need to feel a little chill

You have to see the world in shades of gray

You have to put some poison in your day

[Morticia]

That's the the way

[Gomez and Morticia]

When you're an Addams

[Gomez]

You need to have a sense of humor

[Gomez and Morticia]

When you're an Addams

[Morticia]

You need to have a taste for death

[Gomez and Morticia]

Who cares about the world outside

And what it wants from you?

When you're and Addams

You do what Addams always do!

[Addams Family]

When you're an Addams

[Gomez]

You gotta have a lotta passion

[Addams Family]

When you're an Addams

[Morticia]

You need to really love your wife

[Gomez]

Several times a day!

[Addams Family]

You're happy when your toes are in the mud

[Fester and Grandma]

You smile a bit the moment you smell blood

Aa-ooh!

[Addams Family]

When you're an Addams

[Wednesday]

You need to grab a bow and arrow

[Addams Family]

When you're an Addams

[Pugsley]

You need a moment to explode

[Grandma]

Just pour a potion

[Fester]

Flip the switch

[Fester, Grandma, Wednesday and Pugsley]

And wait till things get hot

[Addams Family]

When you're an Addams

You have to really stir the pot

[Fester]

So keep your sunshine

And keep your glee

[Gomez]

Country music and Tennessee

[Wednesday]

Keep you laughter

[Grandma]

And MTV

[Addams Family]

And all will be all right

Give us shadows and give us gloom

Broken glass in a motel room

Something fun we can all exhume

And give it all tonight!

[Gomez]

And on this special night

Beneath our Family Tree

We summon our beloved Ancestors

[Ancestors]

One torn asunder

Down six feet under

We get to gather here

[Male Ancestor One]

Dead for forever

[Male Ancestor Two]

Bled from whatever

[Male Ancestors One and Two]

Called now to reappear

[Male Ancestor Three and Female Ancestor One]

Every cadaver

Start the palaver

Once in an Addams year

[Ancestors]

Hold your decaying

Hear what we're saying

Time now to give a cheer

[Gomez]

Line Dance!

Bunny Hop!

Do the Twist!

Rigor Mortis!

[All]

When you're an Addams

[Male Ancestors]

That's right!

[All]

You have a very special duty

[All]

When you're an Addams

[All]

You're obligated to the clan

[All]

It's family first and family last

And family by and by

When you're an Addams

The standard answers don't apply

When you're and Addams

You do what Addams do or-

[Lurch]

Ughh

[All]

Die!
