Marvin’s Giddy Seizures (Part 1) William Finn (Ft. Catherine Cox, Kathy Garrick, Sherry Hursey & Stephen Bogardus)

[SWEETHEART, spoken]
Marvin?

(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
Is something he invented;
Or is it medicinal?

[WIFE]
Should his mother be blamed?

[SWEETHEART]
No!
Marvin has a something which most everybody needs
He cannot ever be embarrassed
Marvin is my very best friend in school
