Canceling the Bar Mitzvah

Lyrics

[TRINA] Jason, if you want a Bar Mitzvah God knows, you can have a Bar Mitzvah But I have to know And I have to know now Just what it is you want I've addressed the invitations Here's your chance to give me Hell If you think it's bust Then it's probably just as well [JASON] Can't we wait 'til Whizzer gets better? Can't we wait 'til he's out? That's what bar mitzvahs should be all about! Good friends close at hand Don't you understand? [MENDEL] We can't be sure when he'll get better When, or if, he'll ever get better But the hall is booked And the band's been retained So, Jason, please What we'll do is your decision There's no right and there's no wrong Just say yes or no And we promise to go along [JASON] Finally, now, it's all my decision Like it's my bar mitzvah Just like nothing happened Hell, let's have a party Just like nothing happened Why don't you make this dumb decision yourselves, okay? Why don't you make this dumb decision yourselves? [MENDEL] We'll have the bar mitzvah? [JASON, spoken] No.​ [TRINA] Then, we'll cancel the bar mitzvah? [JASON, spoken] No! [TRINA & MENDEL] We'll wait until you make a decision [Trina sighs.] [TRINA, spoken] Now what do we do? [MENDEL] Why don't we tell him That we don't have the answers? And that life can be grim Life's not all about him And things rarely go according to plan Tell him things happen For no damned good reason And his lack of control Kills what's best in his soul And this is the start To his becoming a man [TRINA] Holding to the ground As the ground keeps shifting [MENDEL] Trying to keep sane As the rules keep changing [TRINA, MENDEL] Keeping up my head (Keeping up my head) As my heart Falls out of sight (As my heart falls out of sight) [TRINA & MENDEL] Everything will be alright
