Jason’s Therapy

Lyrics

[JASON] Mr. Mendel I get apoplexy thinking of my father I resemble him in far too many ways His sad demeanor The way he acts the swine At least his room is cleaner than mine Is it fatal? Do you see real similarities between us? He and Whizzer live like Well, I think it's clear What do I do? What do I say? How do I ask? What do I hope for? Is it my mind? Love isn't free If love isn't blind What do I see? [MENDEL, spoken] Stop! Look around you. No one's screaming at you. So you feel alright for about ten minutes. If you feel alright for ten minutes, feel alright for twenty minutes. Feel alright for forty minutes! Drop it and smile (sung) Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life? Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life? Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life? [JASON, spoken] Is this therapy? [TRINA] Chop chop chop chop chop I chopped it It's a gourmet version of chicken merengo Took me all day I'll say 't was worth the time I lie [MARVIN] Why is he always here? [WHIZZER] The psychiatrist returning Returning Five sessions later [MENDEL] Try to forget all things homely Try to forget all things snide Nothing's as good as you recall Count what's good, then divide If you count, it's alright You can figure out the world You can add and subtract at will You can cover up the past You can kill the pain Very easily [JASON] Is this therapy? [MARVIN, TRINA, WHIZZER, & MENDEL] Right, this is therapy! [JASON, spoken] So scram! (sung) Mr. Mendel As regarding your intentions to my mother Are they everything a woman would desire? Her hand is ready It only needs a ring I'll buy confetti And sing I'm embarrassed It's not my responsibility to ask you But I wonder if it's ever crossed your mind? [MENDEL] What do I say? Where do I look? Why do I laugh? How do I answer? Is it my mind? Love isn't free If love isn't blind What do I see? [JASON] Stop! Look around you A lot of nice furniture Someone's bringing you dinner Someone brought you your lunch Someone's washing your laundry Washing your socks Jesus Christ! Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life? Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life? [JASON, MENDEL, BOTH] Why don't you (Why don't I) Feel alright for the rest of My life? (Your life?) Whoo! [ALL] Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life? Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life? Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life? [MARVIN, TRINA & WHIZZER, JASON & MENDEL] Feel, feel, feel (Feel alright for the rest of your life) Feel, feel, feel (Feel alright for the rest of your life) Feel, feel, feel (Feel alright for the rest of your life) Feel, feel, feel (Feel alright for the rest of your life) [JASON & MENDEL, ALL] Feel alright for the rest of your Rest of your Life!
