One Normal Night Lyrics – The Addams Family Cast

One Normal Night Text

---

Wednesday:
They're normal people.
Not like you,
Not like me,
Please can't we be an average family?

One normal night,
That's all I want,
That's all I need from you.
One normal house,
Without a mouse
To feed a plant or two!
You must admit we're not what people call "laid back".
So can't we muse a bit, and lose the basic black?
Whoa, one normal night,
With normal people on their way!
Just one normal night...
(Spoken):
Whaddaya say?

Morticia:
One normal night?

Wednesday:
To be polite,
To do the least you can.

Gomez (Spoken):
One normal eve?

Wednesday:
Can you achive
A kind of common man?

You have to swear to me,
Yes, promise to the core.
It's almost six o'clock,
They're almost at the door!
On all the Addams ancestors
Who've ever walked aright,
One normal night!

Ancestors:
Doo doo doo doo (x3)
Doo doo

Lucas (Spoken):
Wait! This is the place where I first saw her! Wednesday, with a crossbow. And she looked like Diana The Huntress!

Mal (Spoken):
Who?

Alice (Spoken):
He's just expressing himself, dear. "Expressing is the poet's art. Just simply say what's in your heart."

Mal (Spoken):
Lucas, your mother's rhyming again. I say we take a rain check and go back to the hotel.

Lucas (Spoken):
No!
(Sung)
One normal night.
No, not one poem,
Not one inspiring word.
One normal scene,
Complete routine.
Tonight can't be absurd!
Please don't embarrass me,
(Spoken)
Or be completely rude.
(Sung)
Don't make a fuss about the house,
About the food!
Whoa, one normal night.
I know it's big, but can't you see?
This one normal night is for me!

Fester (Spoken):
He seems like a nice young man!

Ancestors (Spoken):
They're not right for each other/He's from Ohio/It'll never work

Fester (Spoken):
Not right for eachother?! What do you mean, "They're not right for each other?"
(Sung)
Was Napoleon right for Josephine?
Was nausea right for Dramamine?
Were the 80's right for the drum machine
Who's to say?
Who's to say?
Was ballet right for Balanchine?
Was Polio right for the Salk vaccine?
Were you folks right for the mezzanine?
Who's to say?
(Sung)
One normal night is a perilous trick.
Normal is hard to attain.
Children are crazy, and parents are quick,
Passions are hard to explain.
But this is their moment, and this is your chance,
So if you don't want to remain,
Start singing of love!

Ancestors:
What?

Fester:
Love!

Ancestors:
No!

Fester:
Love!

Ancestors:
Why?

Fester:
Love!

Ancestors:
Ugh!

Fester:
Only affairs of the heart.
(Spoken)
Your turn!

Ancestors:
Bringing them love!

Fester:
Yes!

Ancestors:
Love!

Fester:
Yes!

Ancestors:
Love!

Fester:
Right!

Ancestors:
Love!

Fester:
Good!

Fester:
Love lets your spirits depart,
So let the normalcy start!

Fester/Ancestors:
Protect and rally round,
Let's aid them and abet
One normal night is what they'll...

Fester:
Get!

Addams Family/Ancestors:
One normal night,
One normal night,
One normal night,
Wednesday wants:
One normal night,
One normal night,
One normal night,
Give her just:
One normal night,
One normal night,
One normal night,
Wednesday wants:

To make this night succeed!
