Whizzer, hey!
Suddenly it all came clear
I said, let's have my bar mitzvah here!
Surprise!
This was Jason's first great idea
And I brought the prayer shawl
Oooh, Oooh
It's Jason's bar mitzvah
Don't you move
Everything will soon be great
Close your eyes
While we redecorate
I'll unwrap the billion hors d'oeuvres
And someone, please, eat them
Oooh, Oooh
It's Jason's bar mitzvah
Lovely, flowers make things lovely
Champagne makes things lovely, too
Something is amiss
Drink up!
Anyone for bubbly?
Probably, it's doubly useful at a time like this
Cheers
Cheers!
And aren't things lovely?
I feel more helpless than I have in years
Try this on
Someone, get this thing in gear
Please excuse me if I interfere
But I feel that since I'm the host, it's me who should toast him
Oooh, Oooh
To Jason's bar mitzvah!
I notified the nurses
Told them please to not intrude
I passed around the food
Then dumped some extra food
'Cause, Lord knows, we've got plenty
She's cooked for some two hundred guests
We number not that many
Actually, we're seven
Maybe it's not dumb
The way this whole thing ends
The food tastes really yummy
Oh, mummy
Lovely
The flowers seem to sparkle, candelabra sets the tone
I must make things
The wine is very soothing
Lovely
Soothes the "something, something"
Someone needed soothing
Put everything
I think, perhaps, I'm overdressed
In its place
I think, perhaps, it doesn't matter
Ready for the
That you are, but
Band
Here we are
Jason's bar mitzvah looks
Like the books say it should
Cheers
And aren't things lovely?
Everything is lovely
I feel more rotten than I have in years
Here he comes
Fix his tie
Trina, try
To make him smile more
Don't know why
But he looks like Marvin
Son of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
Son of Marvin, Son of Trina, Son of Whizzer, Son of Mendel
And godchild to the lesbians from next door
Sing
Oh, sing
Oh, sing
Vie-eme-low yae-o-leh
Heh-oh-non vi-low
Ah-yis-is-ooh ah-yis-ro-ale
Ha-ooh low toe vo-o-meem aboh
