Morticia: My daughter's getting married. I can't believe it's true. She doesn't ask her parents before she says "I do". And what about my husband? Oblivious, naive. This evening's getting serious: these Ohioans won't leave. But I can't let these latest problems rob me of my bliss. For when I'm scared of true disaster, I remember this: Death is just around the corner waiting patiently to strike. One unplanned electrocution that's the kind of end I can comprehend. When I'm feeling uninspired Or I need a little spree I'm reborn knowing death is just around the corner coming after me. (spoken) Get it? Coroner. Death is just around the... corner. Death is just around the corner Waiting high upon the hill Someone buried in an avalanche (gasp) that's the kind of gig I can really dig. Marriage often disappoints you. Not each husband is a gem. So I'll mourn knowing death is just around the corner coming after them. If life's all plums I'll muddle through some. But when death comes I hope it's gruesome. (hot-cha) Some people die from public stoning, faulty wiring, faulty zoning, cherry pits they didn't know were there. (choking noise) It could be by a jungle cat Female Ancestor: A slippery mat. Male Ancestor: A baseball bat. Morticia: Perhaps an unsuccessful love affair. (crying noise) It could be on a speeding train, It could be underwater. It could be too much Novocain or even by your daughter. Female Ancestor: Perhaps a bad mosquito bite. Male Ancestor: A title fight. Female Ancestors: Religious rite. Morticia: My darlings, it might even be tonight. Death is just around the corner no one's ever been immune. Turning off a respirator with a simple click strenuously quick. I can face a new tomorrow if I make it past today. I feel good saying death is just around the corner simply on its way. Death is just around the corner and you have to heed the call. (Don't ask why) For your death is just around the corner (You and I) Happy being both the mourned and mourner (Say goodbye) Because death is just around the corner coming for us all.
So excited to do this number!! I just found out I'm a featured part in this musical! (a flapper!) and I have a small part in this song, but I'm still absolutely excited. The choreo for our show is honestly pretty amazing so far!
Panda Quinn I'm an ancestor too. Though only the featured dancers have to do the full dance(almost). We have featured dancers, featured singers, and normal ensemble(me). The featured ppl have extra parts (ex: featured dancers in Secrets, featured singers in the end of Waiting with the "woahs"). The normal ancestors(me) only come in at 2:50. It's still alot of work. It must be fun either way though. What ancestor are you? I'm a newsie.
We just had a hot mess of choreo for this because HALF OF OUR ANCESTORS TOOK TRIPS. WE HAVE THREE. WEEKS. LEFT. BEFORE THE SHOW. So yeah, maybe it's nice knowing death is just around the corner :) Update: we got it down! But someone dropped the show :((
They cut this song from my school production and it upsets me very much. I wouldn't even be in it because I am Lucas but it still sucks because its such great song
I got Morticia. First main role for 4 years and I’m so excited (I mean there wasn’t really any competition, my drama club just chose the older kids for main roles and I’m the oldest and the tallest so what else was I going to be?) Love this song.
@@littlerockrocks2272 Dude. Come on. Biden may be an overall insignificant president but he's not a psychopath calling for the hanging of his own VP in a fit of rage because he didn't get his way. I'll take insignificance over maniacally bad any day of the week. In 100 years people most likely won't remember or be clutching their pearls over Biden but they absolutely WILL remember with disdain and infamy the actions of the Trump administration. Y'all don't have to like Biden, Hell Democrats in general don't like Biden, but don't pretend as if he's brought the ten plagues upon the U.S. for God's sake. It's like the people who were convinced President Hoover would be remembered at the worst President in U.S. history because they didn't like him personally vs professionally, and today most people just walking on the street don't even know who the Hell President Hoover was. (But we all remember in general who FDR was, which was the president right after Hoover.) Biden isn't Satan, he's just negligible. I pray one day as a country we could ACTUALLY pick a decent candidate in their 50's who both understands how government works AND tries to have ALL American's best interests at heart but until we break out of this two party system we're going to keep being forced to choose between negligible and psychotic. But hey, Death is just around the corner!

When the one line I have is “perhaps a bad mosquito bite”
Nice, I get to say 'a title fight' right afterwards
I have "a baseball bat" 😂
When everyone here is in the show but you just like the music....
right this musical is bomb
AH. I just got cast as Morticia and my best friend is Wednesday. So excited
SAME! Except my friend and I don’t have the same show times.
I feel like I need a fighting mashup of this and "What I Know Now" from beetlejuice
I'm listening to this everyday constantly, not even cause I'm in the musical rn, just because I love it.
I listening to this everyday too.
After school. At rehersal..... I'm in this song during the end, dancing and singing harmony.
Morticia:
My daughter's getting married.
I can't believe it's true.
She doesn't ask her parents
before she says "I do".
And what about my husband?
Oblivious, naive.
This evening's getting serious:
these Ohioans won't leave.
But I can't let these latest problems
rob me of my bliss.
For when I'm scared of true disaster,
I remember this:
Death is just around the corner
waiting patiently to strike.
One unplanned electrocution
that's the kind of end
I can comprehend.
When I'm feeling uninspired
Or I need a little spree
I'm reborn knowing
death is just around the corner
coming after me.
(spoken) Get it? Coroner. Death is just around the... corner.
Death is just around the corner
Waiting high upon the hill
Someone buried in an avalanche (gasp)
that's the kind of gig
I can really dig.
Marriage often disappoints you.
Not each husband is a gem.
So I'll mourn
knowing death is just around the corner
coming after them.
If life's all plums
I'll muddle through some.
But when death comes
I hope it's gruesome. (hot-cha)
Some people die from public stoning,
faulty wiring, faulty zoning,
cherry pits they didn't know were there. (choking noise)
It could be by a jungle cat
Female Ancestor:
A slippery mat.
Male Ancestor:
A baseball bat.
Morticia:
Perhaps an unsuccessful love affair. (crying noise)
It could be on a speeding train,
It could be underwater.
It could be too much Novocain
or even by your daughter.
Female Ancestor:
Perhaps a bad mosquito bite.
Male Ancestor:
A title fight.
Female Ancestors:
Religious rite.
Morticia:
My darlings, it might even be tonight.
Death is just around the corner
no one's ever been immune.
Turning off a respirator
with a simple click
strenuously quick.
I can face a new tomorrow
if I make it past today.
I feel good saying
death is just around the corner
simply on its way.
Death is just around the corner
and you have to heed the call.
(Don't ask why)
For your death is just around the corner
(You and I)
Happy being both the mourned and mourner
(Say goodbye)
Because death is just around the corner
coming for us all.
Thank you
Do you go to ahhs

Sorry but mother nor parents but this is super helpful. X

Panda Quinn I'm an ancestor too. Though only the featured dancers have to do the full dance(almost). We have featured dancers, featured singers, and normal ensemble(me). The featured ppl have extra parts (ex: featured dancers in Secrets, featured singers in the end of Waiting with the "woahs"). The normal ancestors(me) only come in at 2:50. It's still alot of work. It must be fun either way though. What ancestor are you? I'm a newsie.

Lyrics :)
My daughter's getting married.
I can't believe it's true.
She doesn't ask her mother
before she says "I do".
And how about my husband?
In constant naive.
This evening's getting serious:
these Ohioans won't leave.
But I can't let these latest troubles
rob me of my bliss.
For when I'm scared of true disaster,
I remember this:
Death is just around the corner
waiting patiently to strike.
One unplanned electrocution
that's the kind of end
I can comprehend.
When I'm feeling uninspired
Or I need a little spree
I'm reborn knowing
death is just around the corner
coming after me.
Get it? Coroner. Death is just around the... cor-o-ner.
Thank you ah hah hah hah
Death is just around the corner
Waiting high upon the hill
Someone buried in an avalanche (Oh!)
that's the kind of gig
I can really dig.
Marriage often disappoints you.
Not each husband is a gem.
So I'll mourn
knowing death is just around the corner
coming after them.
If life's all plums
I'll muddle through some.
But when death comes
I hope it's gruesome. (ha-cha)
Some people die from public stoning,
faulty wiring, faulty zoning,
cherry pits they didn't know were there. (choking noise)
It could be by a jungle cat
Female Ancestor:
A slippery mat.
Male Ancestor:
A baseball bat.
Morticia:
Perhaps an unsuccessful love affair. (crying noise)
It could be on a speeding train,
It could be underwater.
It could be too much Novocain
or even by your daughter.
Female Ancestor:
Perhaps a bad mosquito bite.
Male Ancestor:
A title fight.
Female Ancestors:
Religious rite.
Morticia:
My darlings, it might even be tonight.
Death is just around the corner
no one's ever been immune.
Turning off a respirator
with a simple click

I can face a new tomorrow
if I make it past today.

death is just around the corner
simply on its way.
Death is just around the corner

(Don't ask why)
For your death is just around the corner
(You and I)
Happy being both the mourned and mourner
(Say goodbye)
Because death is just around the corner

This song is not good enough to have a whole cancan section
My daughter's getting married.
I can't believe it's true.
