Lyrics
[Intro]
They're normal people, not like you, not like me
Please, can't we be an average family?
[Verse 1]
One normal night
That's all I want, that's all I need from you
One normal house
Without a mouse to feed a plant or two
You must admit we're not people call laid back
So can't we muse a bit and lose the basic black?
Whoa, one normal night
With normal people on their way
Just one normal night
Whaddya say?
[Verse 2]
One normal night?
To be polite, to do the least you can
One normal eve?
Can you achieve a kind of common man?
You have to swear to me, yes, promise to the core
It's almost six o'clock, they're almost at the door
On all the Addams ancestors who've ever walked aright
One normal night
[Verse 3]
Wait! This is where I first saw her
Wednesday with a crossbow
And she looked like Diana the huntress
Who?
He's just expressing himself, dear
Expressing is the poets art, just simply say what's in your heart
Lucas, your mother's rhyming again
I say we take a rain check and go back to the hotel
No!
[Verse 4]
One normal night
No, not one poem, not one inspiring word
One normal scene
Complete routine, tonight can't be absurd
Please don't embarrass me or be completely rude
Don't make a fuss about the house, about the food
Whoa, one normal night
I know it's big, but can't you see?
This one normal night is for me
[Bridge]
Aw, he seems like a nice young man
They're not right for each other
Not right for each other?
What do ya mean not right for each other?
[Verse 5]
Was Napoleon right for Josephine?
Was nausea right for Dramamine?
Were the '80s right for the drum machine?
Who's to say, who's to say?
Was ballet right for Balachine?
Was polio right for the Salk vaccine?
Were you folks right for the mezzanine?
Who's to say?
[Bridge]
One normal night is a perilous trick
Normal is hard to obtain
Children are crazy and parents are quick
Passions are hard to explain
But this is their moment, and this is your chance
So if you don't want to remain
Start singing of love, love, love, love
What? No, why? Ugh
Only affairs of the heart, your turn
Bringing them love, love, love, love
Yes, yes, right, good
Love lets you spirits depart
So, let the normalcy start
[Verse 6]
Protect and rally 'round
Let's aid them and abet
One normal night is what they'll get
[Verse 7]
One normal night, one normal night, one normal night
Wednesday wants
One normal night, one normal night, one normal night
Give her just
One normal night, one normal night, one normal night
Wednesday wants
One, one, one, one
[Verse 8]
One normal night
All I want, all I ask
We comprehend, we'll tend her every need
When we arrive
We'll come alive to make this night succeed
Just be respectable, don't make an odd remark
Okay, okay
Keep undetectable our passion for the dark
Just as you say
And then it's paradise right here in Central Park
In one normal, informal
One normal
Night
