William Finn - Cancelling the Bar Mitzvah (Falsettoland) lyrics

[TRINA] Jason, if you want a bar mitzvah God knows you can have a bar mitzvah But I have to know And I have to know now Just what it is you want I've addressed the invitations Here's your chance to give me hell If you think it's bust It is probably just As well [JASON] Can't we wait 'til Whizzer gets better? Can't we wait 'til he's out? That's what bar mitzvah should be all about Good friends close at hand Don't you understand? [MENDEL] Shh, shh, shh We can't be sure when he'll get better When or... if he'll ever get better... [JASON, spoken] What? [MENDEL] But the hall is booked And the band set to play So, Jason, please What we'll do is your decision There's no right and there's no wrong Just say yes or no And we'll promise to go Along [JASON] Finally now it's all my decision Like it's my bar mitzvah Just like nothing happened! Hell, let's have a party! Just like nothing happened! Why don't you make this dumb decision yourselves, okay? Why don't you make this dumb decision yourselves? [MENDEL] We'll have the bar mitzvah [JASON, spoken] No... [TRINA] So we'll cancel the bar mitzvah? [JASON, spoken] No! [MENDEL & TRINA] We'll wait until you make a decision! [TRINA] Holding to the ground as the ground keeps shifting [MENDEL] Trying to keep sane as the rules keep changing [BOTH] Keeping up my head as my heart falls out of sight Everything will be alright
