歌词

JASON: This is how you make a marriage proposal.
MENDEL: I love you dear.
I think you're swell.
You're never near me close enough to tell
If I'm delightful or not.
I crave your wrist.
I praise your thigh.
There's not a guy,
There's not a piece of paper,
There's not a man in pants
Who could love you the same as I!
Oftentimes, lovers are crazy people.
Sometimes they kill each other.
Just like a biblical brother
Did to his biblical brother
Back in biblical times.
TRINA: Biblical times?
MARVIN: Biblical times?
MENDEL: Biblical times. Oh, those' biblical times!
I love your eyes.
I love your face.
I want you by my side to take my place
If I get sick or detained.
Don't touch your hair, you're perfect.
Don't start to cry.
There's not a guy,
There's not a horse or zebra,
There's not a giant man
Who could love you the same as I!
Forget that giant man,
He can't love you the same as I!
I'm not a giant man,
But I'll love you until,
Love you until,
I die!
MARVIN: Well, the situation's this
I don't want to cause a stink
I divorced my wife, she dried her eyes
Then she ran off with my shrink
But I want a tight-knit family
I want a wife who knows what love is
Maybe she does
I'm too damn peeved, self-absorbed, self-deceived!
Who knows?
MENDEL: I should worry what he says like his words could hurt me worse
Marvin acts bereft
My acts of theft
Are incredibly perverse (MARVIN: You said it?)
It's embarassing
But I've got a nice tight family
Son with a brain and nice bright mother
Yes, I feel guilt. Yes, I'm annoyed.
But so was Jung, so was Freud.
But I know you'll come through it (MARVIN: I can't believe she loves you)
If so you'll end looking rich (MARVIN: Why? I'm sure she cannot love you)
MARVIN: But nothing is impossible
MENDEL: Look who's got power
MARVIN: King of the losers
MENDEL: At eighty an hour
He can b*tch, I can stall
MARVIN: I want...
MARVIN/MENDEL: I want it all/I got it all
MARVIN&MENDEL: I'm sure we're gonna come through it.
No doubt the bastard prepares
We're needy and wanting
We're greedy as swine
MENDEL: I just got a family
MARVIN: The family was mine.
MARVIN&MENDEL: But who dares, dares to brawl?
MARVIN/MENDEL: I want it all/I got it all
I want it all/I got it all
I want it all/I got it all
