Cancelling the Bar Mitzvah (Falsettoland)
[TRINA]
Jason, if you want a bar mitzvah
God knows you can have a bar mitzvah
But I have to know
And I have to know now
Just what it is you want
I've addressed the invitations
Here's your chance to give me hell
If you think it's bust
It is probably just
As well

[JASON]
Can't we wait 'til Whizzer gets better?
Can't we wait 'til he's out?
That's what bar mitzvah should be all about
Good friends close at hand
Don't you understand?

[MENDEL]
Shh, shh, shh
We can't be sure when he'll get better
When or... if he'll ever get better...

[JASON, spoken]
What?
[MENDEL]
But the hall is booked
And the band set to play
So, Jason, please
What we'll do is your decision
There's no right and there's no wrong
Just say yes or no
And we'll promise to go
Along

[JASON]
Finally now it's all my decision
Like it's my bar mitzvah
Just like nothing happened!
Hell, let's have a party!
Just like nothing happened!
Why don't you make this dumb decision yourselves, okay?
Why don't you make this dumb decision yourselves?

[MENDEL]
We'll have the bar mitzvah

[JASON, spoken]
No...

[TRINA]
So we'll cancel the bar mitzvah?
[JASON, spoken]
No!

[MENDEL & TRINA]
We'll wait until you make a decision!

[TRINA]
Holding to the ground as the ground keeps shifting

[MENDEL]
Trying to keep sane as the rules keep changing

[BOTH]
Keeping up my head as my heart falls out of sight
Everything will be alright
