Karaoké Ready Set, Not Yet Beetlejuice (musical)

Look at this crib

In all of its glorious antiquary

Every curve and surface speaks to me

Saying pamper and spoil me sand me and oil me

Come on

I know to the untrained eye it's boring

But nothing's a chore when you're restoring

Apart from frustration pain, and financial drain

It's fun

Folks say Adam

Why do you polish your crib when you don't have a kid

And even if you did have a kid

This crib is too precious for placing a baby inside it

So it simply exists to remind you

Your sense of perfection is just a reflection that you

Are not mentally prepared to make room for a kid

Adam, why don't you live

Adam, just make a start

Are you willing to take the next step

Ready, set

Ready, set

Look at these jugs

Amazingly glazed and terracotta-ery

I took some clay and made you pottery

The world will never wreck you

I'll protect you in a mother's embrace

Folks say, Barbara

Why can't you see that ceramics is simply a manifestation of motherly panic

By making a baby that's breakable

Aren't you creating a way of translating the terror of making

Maternal mistakes into clay

Hiding away so you don't have to face being a bad mom

Barbara

That's what you've done, Barbara

Just make a start

Are you willing to take the next step, ready set

Here we stand at the end of a ten year plan

Here we stand at the end of a ten year plan

A house

A house

A yard

A minivan

A yard

A minivan

A baby should be next

A baby should be next

Together let's leap off the cliff

Fall forever, then smash to bits

Together let's leap off the cliff

Fall forever, then smash to bits

Trapped in a terrifying viper pit

Trapped in a terrifying viper pit

Of diapers and regret

Are we willing to take

Of diapers and regret

Are we willing to take the next step the next step

Ready, set

Not yet

Ready, set

Not yet

Why rush

Why rush

Soon enough, our hopes and our dreams will be crushed

Soon enough, our hopes and our dreams will be crushed

But not yet

Not yet

Not now

Not now

Oh

No

See

We can't start a family in a house with creaky floorboards

You are absolutely right

Let's add it to the list with the cracks in the plaster

The wi-fi should be faster

The bathroom's a disaster

This sofa needs a castor

What about global poverty

What about world peace

Then there's the whole

Darn economy

We should learn Mandarin

The whole Middle East

Yeah or Spanish at least

No habla español

No habla español

Dos cervezas por favor

And that's all we got

Dos cervezas por favor

And that's all we got

And that's not a lot

And that's not a lot

Do we want a bilingual household or not

Do we want a bilingual household or not

So let's go slow

So let's go slow

No breaking a sweat

What's the point of

No breaking a sweat

What's the point of having children having children

If we're drowning in debt

If we're drowning in debt

Yeah we're totally

Completely

Maybe eighty percent

I'd say seventy-eight

Ready to take

Ready to take the next step the next step

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The next step

The next step

Zooby dooby doo bow bow

The next step

The next step

Zweeby dee dee dee bee dee dee

The next step

The next step

Ready, set let's

Aah

Ready, set let's

Aah

See I wasn't kidding

It's a show about death
