3:49They always yell Isn't that unfortunate? When Marvin's here Everybody's yelling about the bar mitzvah It's not a wrestling match Why are they sweating? It's not a funeral What's so upsetting? It's a celebration Where I get presents But everybody's yelling And everybody's ruining it It's a celebration where I get richer But everybody's yelling And everybody's ruining it Everybody's ruining it Why, oh why? What have I done that they'd ruin my bar mitzvah? What have I done that they'd ruin my bar mitzvah? I want the tables round Musicians with a new sound Okay, I'll trade But, please, don't make it pink Pink? It must be- I want lobster Catered kosher No can do Pink is my- (help me!) Favorite color Why? Rock musicians String quartet Are you done? Not yet! Ugh! There's no reason to fight? It is just a bar mitzvah Go ahead and invite Whomever you please Just stop shrecking and wrecking the night I am getting an ear ache Please, stop shrecking Please, stop shrecking Please, stop shrecking Please, stop shrecking Things are better Aren't they? I feel we've grown closer Maybe we've grown closer But we still have a party to make We have a party to make And it's gonna be swell It'll be Marvin's triumph And Trina's Our kid will excel And the flowers delight (thank Trina) All in all it'll be nonpareil Like the perfect occasion Round tables Square tables Please, don't do this He's no jerk It's just that It took Please don't do this Work! I hate this! Blame her It is all a waste Look at your couch It is homo-baroque Don't talk to me about taste Stop! I don't want a bar mitzvah, okay? I don't want a bar mitzvah! What do you mean you don't want a bar mitzvah? What do you mean you don't want a bar mitzvah? How do you think we...? How do you think we...? How do you think we feel about that?
