Chip Zien - How Marvin Eats His Breakfast lyrics

[MARVIN] I love being Marvin I love being Marvin Marvin always eats The finest breakfast in town [LADIES] How Marvin eats his breakfast [MARVIN] Everybody into the kitchen Here comes Marvin Banging his groin with his fist [LADIES] He mumbles in, to insist: [MARVIN] No one looks busy in this kitchen And my breakfast isn't ready And my stomach aches I mean specifically the maid Who is reclining like she's laid the golden egg I want some chatter and some gruel Make me wanna drool Try to make me hungry Cat got your tongue? [LADIES] Marvin always knows the sort of answers he'll allow [MARVIN] I may be sly, dear, but not young [LADIES] "Wait until I'm older, then I'll k** you" is his one unspoken vow [MARVIN] I need my breakfast now [ALL] Everybody into the kitchen Here comes Marvin [LADIES] Aiming a gun at the maid; He shoots her head; she falls dead [MARVIN] O Jesus Christ, it wasn't loaded She's an actor from the old school And a lousy chef I don't want miracles from heaven Just some eggies over spinach over toast No, I will not apologize! She should win a prize: "Very best emoting" That girl can't cook [LADIES] Maybe she can't cook, but have you seen her milk a cow? [MARVIN] And I can read her like a book [LADIES] Marvin wouldn't read that kind of novel anyhow [MARVIN] I need my breakfast Now [MARVIN] People, people Stop your staring People, people, stop your staring Get to work my breakfast isn't made yet [LADIES] ...people, people ...stop your staring People, people, stop your staring. Get to work my breakfast isn't- [ALL] Life is lonely Life is rotten [MARVIN] And thankfully short Thankfully short Thankfuly short [LADIES] Like Marvin [ALL] Everybody into the kitchen Here comes [MARVIN] M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m... [ALL] Marvin! [LADIES] Waving his hands like a twit He throws a fit Then a knife [MARVIN] You call this breakfast on my birthday? This is sh** This isn't breakfast I could crack your feet I mean for God's sake Am I talking to the wall? When I say breakfast I mean food I dreamt all night of hips and legs Now I want some eggs: Things I might relate to I'm just a sprite [LADIES] Marvin underestimates the fear that he'll endow [MARVIN] I'll wait here till you get it right! [LADIES] Do I? Do I really? Do I really have to show you people how? [MARVIN] I need my breakfast [ALL] Now
