William Finn - Michael's Final Words from How America Got Its Name / Your Lips and Me (Reprise) lyrics

[MARVIN, spoken] The thing about explorers is: they discover things that are already there. Columbus closed his diary and went ashore [HIS WIFE] Well, my husband divorced his wife last weekend He was dying to play the clown So he kissed the two boys, the bird and me, then Flew off with Whizzer Brown The neighbors love me They say I'm a fool But I'm just practicing my calisthenics and the Golden Rule I'll be brave, dear You go on digging your grave, dear I didn't know I'd make you lonely I thought you'd agree But when I saw your lips I knew they didn't belong No, they didn't belong I'm sure they didn't belong To me... [ALL] Scrubby dubby dubby Look at Marvin take a shower Look at Marvin in the tubby Scrubby dubby dubby He is soapy with the soap he uses Everyone can see that he's a wet Marvin boy [MARVIN] Eyes and nose Neck and chest Groin and knees All the rest [SWEETHEART] (scrubbing him) Scrubby dubby Scrubby dubby Scrubby dubby [SWEETHEART] Scrubby dubby dubby dubby [ALL] Scrubby dubby dubby dubby Scrubby dubby dubby For Marvin [MARVIN] On my fourteenth birthday Nothing was ready Nothing on the table so I Showed some wit [MARVIN] And whaddya know? Whaddya know? Whaddya no- Body listened to me So I threw a fit [LADIES] What? What? And whaddya know? I got my breakfast The likes of which you've never seen [LADIES] Poor Miss Goldberg Poor Miss Goldberg Poor Miss Goldberg [MARVIN] I blew out the candle in a single breath Then I thought of love Then I thought of d**h Then I made a deal The contents of which I cannot reveal [LADIES] Poor Miss Goldberg in a rape Poor darling, now with Marvin Poor Miss Goldberg in a rape Poor darling, now with Marvin [TEACHER] My body is not yours to hold [LADIES] Her body is not yours to hold Poor Miss Goldberg in a rape Poor darling, now with Marvin [LADIES] Poor Miss Goldberg in a rape Poor darling, now with Marvin [MARVIN] Who's that saying that? Who's that saying that? Stop it. Stop it Stop it!
