Lyrics - Marvin's Giddy Seizures by Finn William

MARVIN:
One, two.
One, two, three.
One, two, three, four.
Marvin is boy who has giddy seizures,
He's laughing all the time.
Marvin is boy who has giddy seizures,
Sometimes they're fatal.
When he turns upside down like a ladle pouring soup
He's a veritable fool.
Marvin is my very best friend in school.
It's me and
Marvin.
Lately
I've been thinking maybe
Marvin needs attention
Of a private sort.
Maybe this whole seizure thing is something he invented,
Or is it medicinal: should his mother be blamed?
ALL:
Marvin has a something which most everybody needs;
He cannot ever be embarrassed.
MARVIN:
Marvin is my very best friend in school.
And
I'm embarrassed and ashamed.
Oh.
LADIES (all at once):
Marvin!
What are you doing?
Who do you think you are,
Marvin?
What's
Marvin doing?
MARVIN:
Pardon me boys and girls, but
I'm having a seizure.
LADIES:
Oh,
Marvin.
Hey,
Marvin.
MARVIN:
Yes
I'm having a seizure today, hey, hey,
Watch me laugh.
LADIES:
Marvin's giddy seizures.
MARVIN:
Watch me cry.
LADIES:
Marvin's giddy seizures.
MARVIN:
I am counting on your prayers to get me by.
LADIES:
Marvin's giddy seizures.
MARVIN:
Well my arms disappear and my legs disappear and my knees disappear and myshoulders disappear
When
Marvin throws the best fit of the year.
ALL:
Marvin's giddy seizures:
Marvin needs love.
He needs love.
He needs love.
He needs love.
Ooooooh.
MARVIN:
Marvin holds his breath, his face is under water
But that's not a seizure.
Marvin talks of death, he imitates a slaughter
But that's not a seizure.
Then he begins to shriek like a virgin,
And his eyes turn an ordinary fizz--(
Nothing's exactly like
I say it is)--
But hey, that's a seizure!
LADIES (all at once):
Marvin!
What are you doing?
Who do you think you are,
Marvin?
What's
Marvin doing?
MARVIN:
Pardon me boys and girls but
I'm having a seizure.
LADIES:
Oh,
Marvin.
Hey,
Marvin.
MARVIN:
Yes,
I'm having a seizure today, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Watch me laugh.
LADIES:
Marvin's giddy seizures.
MARVIN:
Watch me cry.
LADIES:
Marvin's giddy seizures.
MARVIN:
I am counting on your prayers to get me by.
LADIES:
Marvin's giddy seizures.
Arms.
MARVIN:
Disappear!
LADIES:
Legs.
MARVIN:
Disappear!
LADIES:
Groin.
MARVIN:
Disappears!
LADIES:
Knees.
MARVIN:
Disappear
When
Marvin throws the best fit of the year.
ALL:
Marvin's giddy seizures:
Marvin needs love.
He needs love.
He needs love.
He needs love.
Ooooooh.
Marvin's giddy seizures:
Marvin needs love.
He needs love.
He needs love.
He needs love.
Ooooooh.
Marvin's giddy seizures:
Marvin needs love.
He needs love.
He needs love.
He needs love.
Ooooooh.
