It Shoulda Been You (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
That's Family
So you think your daughter's going to marry a guy.
All you planned to do that day was stand there and cry.
She wears your dress, she wears your pearls
And then she says shes pregnant and she sleeps with girls.
But am I surprised?
That's Family
There's a chance I should have known that my son would be gay.
I encouraged everything to make him that way.
I showed him plays with thespians.
It worked so well he's gay and sleeps with lesbians.
But am I surprised?
It doesn't work that way
I know
That's family
You can make plans by the score
Involve your children and just watch the plans fly out the door
Now our kids are getting ready to add to the clan
With so many of us bubbies its useless to plan
What's a...
Grandma
The child will grow
Will fret and fuss
Then the kid will do to them what they just did to us
Will they be surprised?
I hope so
That's family
Did you see that our two wives are now related?
Is this real or are we both hallucinating?
Yes
Its true
Oy
Vey
Betcha stranger things will happen when you've become family
You can make plans by the score
Involve your children and just watch the plans fly out the door
(Overlapping)
Now the kids are getting ready to add to the clan.
Did you see that our two wives are now related?
With so many of us bubbies its useless to plan.
Is this real or are we both hallucinating?
The child will grow, will fret and fuss.
Yes, its true.
Then watch it do to them what they just did to us.
Oy Vey.
A word to the wise
Betcha stranger things will happen
When you've become family
Crazy
Contented
Devoted
Demented
Loving, neurotic, adoring, psychotic
Mostly happy
What doesn't kill ya...
Makes ya drink!!
