[MARVIN, spoken - snapping]
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 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!

[HIS SWEETHEART]
Marvin!

[HIS WIFE]          [HIS TEACHER]       [SWEETHEART]
Marvin, what are    Who do you think    What's Marvin
you doing?          you are, Marvin?    doing?

[MARVIN]
Pardon me boys and girls but I'm having a seizure

[THE LADIES]
Oh, Marvin
Hey, Marvin

[MARVIN]
Yes, I'm having a seizure today, hey, hey
Watch me laugh

[LADIES]                  [MARVIN]
Marvin's giddy seizures   Watch me cry
Marvin's giddy seizures   I'm counting on your prayers
                          to get me by
Marvin's giddy seizures   Well my
Oh                        Arms disappear
Oh                        And my legs disappear
Oh                        And my knees disappear
Oh                        And my shoulders disappear

[MARVIN]
When Marvin throws the best fit of the year

[LADIES]
Marvin's giddy seizures

[ALL]
Marvin needs love
He needs love
He needs love
He needs love
Oooooo

[MARVIN]
Marvin holds his breath
His face is underwater
But that's not a seizure

[LADIES]
Oooooo...

[MARVIN]
Marvin talks of death
He imitates a slaughter
But that's not a seizure

[LADIES]
Oooooo...

[MARVIN]
When 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!

[SWEETHEART]
Marvin!

[WIFE]              [TEACHER]           [SWEETHEART]
Marvin, what are    Who do you think    What's Marvin

[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]
Marvin's giddy seizures   Watch
Marvin's giddy seizures   Me cry
                          I'm counting on your
                          prayers to get me by
Marvin's giddy seizures
Arms                      Disappear
Legs                      Disappear
Groin                     Disappear
Knees                     Disappear

[MARVIN]
When Marvin throws the best fit of the year

[ALL]
Marvin's giddy seizures
Marvin needs love
He needs love
