When You're an Addams (From "The Addams Family Musical")

Ancestral Voices: AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH! AH! Gomez (Spoken): Ah, the intoxicating spell of the graveyard. Once a year when the last leaf of autumn falls, we gather to honor the great Cycle life and death. Come, every member of our clan - living, dead- and undecided and let us celebrate what is to be an Addams. Gomez(Sung): 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 Motricia(Spoken): The's the way Gomez and Morticia: When you're an Addams You need to have a sense of humor Gomez and Morticia: When you're an Addams You need to have a taste for death Gomez/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 You gotta have a lotta passion Addams Family: When you're an Addams You need to really love your wife Gomez (Spoken): 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-OOOH!!! Addams Family: When you're an Addams You need to grab a bow and arrow Addams Family: When you're an Addams You need a moment to explode Just pour a potion Flip the switch Fester/Grandma/Wednesday/Pugsley: And wait till things get hot Addams Family: When you're an Addams You have to really stir the pot So keep your sunshine And keep your glee Country music and Tennessee Keep you laughter 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(Spoken): And on this special night, beneath our Family Tree, we summon our beloved Ancestors. Once 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/Female Ancestor One: Every cadaver Start the palaver Once in an Addams year Hold your decaying Hear what we're saying Time now to give a cheer Gomez (Spoken): Line Dance!
