1. When You're and Addams

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

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

You need to really love your wife

Gomez (Spoken):
Several times a day

You're happy when your toes are in the mud

You smile a bit the moment you smell blood

You need to grab a bow and arrow

So keep your sunshine
And keep your glee

Country music and Tennessee

Wednesday:
Keep you laughter

Grandma:

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!

2. So Much Better
Elle:
All of this time I've planned,
I'd be patient, and,
You would love me again.

You'd come to respect my mind,

and at last you'd find,
You could love me again.

And I have turned my whole world

upside down,
trying not to let you go...
Watching you walk away
is like a fatal blow.

WHOA!

Is that my name up on that list?

Does someone know that I exist?
Is this a mistake?
Am I even awake?
Pinch me now to make sure...

OW!

Is my name in black and white?

Maybe I'm doing something right
WOW! I feel so much better than before.
WARNER!

Sorry I've been a pest

But I guess my best
Was not working with you
But looks like I've found a cure
And I so look forward to working with you

Warner:
What? Working with who?

Elle:
Hey remember when we spent spring break
In the hot tub every night Chorus: Every night!
We said nothing else
Could ever feel so right
Well this might!

Chorus: Snap!

Elle: Seeing my name up on that list

That beats the first time that we kissed.
You thought I was dumb, but I think that somebody's judgment was poor.
Seeing my name in black and white
It's like making love with you all night
NO WAIT!
It feels so much better
hello much better
its oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
much better
'cause I am so much better than before

Maybe she's what you prefer

But hey last year I was her
Maybe you will change your mind
But you might look up to find
I've gone on to better things
Better jobs or bigger rings
I don't have the time to cry
I'm too busy loving my name up on that list
kind of a cool ironic twist
who else can I tell?
Oh Wait where's my cell?
Mom will fall on the floor

HEY MOM!

Look at my name in black and white

your daughter's doing something right
I feel so much better
I'll be there on monday nine o'clock
and we will see who walks the walk
NO NO I CAN'T WAIT!
I will be there at eight
When they unlock the door

OH OH
I'll even dress in black and white
See I have not begun to fight
And you'll go OH much better and
OH much better
and soon all y'all know much better

I am so much better
I am so much better
I am so much better
than before!
