Addams Family, The movie - Where Did We Go Wrong lyrics

rate me

Morticia (Spoken):

She's perky

Gomez (Spoken):

She's bubbly

Morticia (Spoken):

She's optimistic

Gomez(Spoken):

Where did we go wrong?

Morticia:

We taught her to hunt

Gomez:

We taught her to aim

Morticia:

We gave her a bow

Gomez:

We gave her no shame

Morticia:

We gave what we had

Gomez:

Made sure she was bad

Both:

Did all that we could to keep her sad

Gomez:

We told her to stay away from modern jazz

Morticia:

We gaver her that week long trip to Alcatraz

Gomez:

We promised she'd be equipped

Both:

And filled her crypt with woe

What'd we know?

Gomez:

We took her to funerals in the morning mist

Morticia:

We took her to slaughter houses

Gomez:

Schindler's list

Morticia:

We taught her to scowl and sneer and domineer

Gomez:

On cue

Both:

so What did we do?

Where did we go wrong?

Gomez (Spoken):

Are we good parents?

Both:

Where did we go wrong?

Morticia (Spoken):

Are we cliche?

Both:

Somewhere in between

Guilt and guillotine

We forgot to notice that our daughter lost her way

Where did we go wrong?

Morticia:

And can we fix this?

Gomez:

Maybe it's a passing phase

Both:

But if she's going wrong

Then what will change her ways?

Gomez (Spoken):

That's it! We'll cancel this dinner bolt the doors

Morticia (Spoken):

We'll circle the wagon

Gomez (Spoken):

And give these "goody-licious" Beinekes the boot!

Morticia:

We must intervene

Gomez:

We shouldn't delay

Morticia:

She's barely eighteen

Gomez:

So what do we say?

Morticia:

We know the occult

Gomez:

That's certainly true

Morticia:

We're to consult

Gomez:

Morticia, with you

Morticia:

So why all the fuss?

Gomez:

My darling, discuss

Morticia:

She needs only us

Gomez:

It's us, only us

Morticia:

We've always been there for her

To swear for her

Gomez:

Discourage dental care for her

Both:

Do well for her

Excel for her

Make home a living hell for her

So where did we go wrong

Is not the question

Resolute and strong

Is our next move

Gomez:

We'll tell her today

Morticia:

Do what we say

Both:

Send all the Beinekes back to the fray

Turn them away at first sight

And that's where we'll go right?

Both(Spoken):

No dinner tonight!
