Finn William Lyrics
Marvin's Giddy Seizures Lyrics
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 my shoulders 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
