Marc Shaiman - Mamushka Lyrics lyrics

rate me

There is no quibbling:

The sweetest relationship is sibling to sibling.

My emotions have left me... dribbling.

I´ll stab anyone who starts gnawing and nibbling

At my feelings for my sibling!

We've danced it in the graveyards

Where the maggots bill and coo

It's perfect for beheadings

Where the head says "How-dee-do?"

Mamushka! Mamushka! I doff my old babushka!

With a hey and a hey and a hey and a hey and a dance of brotherly love!

Just kill the Carioca, continental Susie Q!

Garrotte the old Gavotte and disembowel the Dipsy Doo!

Mamushka! Mamushka! Let´s dance it like Petrushka!

With a hey and a hey and a hey and a hey and a dance of brotherly love!

Brothers! Brothers! BROTHERS!

The Brothers Karamazov, and the German Brothers Grimm,

There's Orville Wright - and Wilbur! - Orville's nothing minus him!

The Smith Brothers, and the Marx Brothers and the Ritz and the Brooks and

the Everly Brothers,

Solomon Brothers, Nicholas Brothers, Corsican Brothers...

And Doctor Joyce Brothers! Brothers!

Ringling Brothers - watch them break their back!

The Warner Brothers, Harry, Sammy, Irving, and Jack!

I know there´s a host of others

I've had to neglect some brothers

Just too many names to cram, but frankly my dear - I don't give a damn!

(Instrumental interlude and knife dance, which ends with the knife down Fester's throat)

Mamushka! Mamushka! He dances the Mamushka!

With a hey and a hey and a hey and a hey

and a hey and a hey and a hey and a hey

andaheyandaheyandaheyandaheyandaheyandaheyandaheyandahey...

WAIT!

I swear by Mommy and Daddums

This detestable Fester's the echt Fester Addams!

So... Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Let's dance the dance of brotherly love!

MAMUSHKA!
