When You're an Addams

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 of 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
Gomez:
You need to have a sense of humor
Gomez and Morticia:
When you’re an Addams
Morticia:
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
Gomez:
You gotta have a lotta passion
Addams Family:
When you’re an Addams
Morticia:
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
Wednesday:
You need to grab a bow and arrow
Addams Family:
When you’re an Addams
Pugsley:
You need a moment to explode
Grandma:
Just pour a potion
Fester:
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
Fester:
So keep your sunshine
And keep your glee
Gomez:
Country music and Tennessee
Wednesday:
Keep you laughter
Grandma:
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.
Ancestors:
One 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
Ancestors:
Hold your decaying
Hear what we’re saying
Time now to give a cheer
Gomez (Spoken):
Line Dance!
Bunny Hop!
Do the Twist!
Rigor Mortis!
All:
When you’re an Addams
Male Ancestors:
That’s right!
When you’re an Addams
Addams Family/Female Ancestors:
You have a very special duty
Male Ancestors:
Late night! Out with the Addams!
Addams Family/Female Ancestors:
When you’re an Addams
Male Ancestors:
With one bite
All:
You’re obligated to the clan
It’s family first and family last
And family by and by
When you’re an Addams
The standard answers don’t apply
When you’re and Addams
You do what Addams do or-
Lurch:
Ughhh
All:
Die!
