Marvin’s Giddy Seizures - William Finn (Ft. Alison Fraser, Chip Zien, Joanna Green & Mary Testa)
[MARVIN, spoken]
One, two
One, two, three
One, two, three, four

(sung)
Marvin is a boy who has giddy seizures
He’s laughing all the time
Marvin is a 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 something he invented
Or is it medicinal?
Should his mother be blamed?

[ALL]
Marvin has a something that most everybody needs:
He cannot ever be embarrassed

[MARVIN]
Marvin is my very best friend in school
And I’m embarrassed and ashamed
Oh!
