Year of the Child

atah Adonai
Baruch atah Adonai eloheinu
Melech haolam
Asher kidshanu, asher kidshanu
V'tzivanu l'hitateif batzitzit

(not me learning Hebrew through this show ✋🏽😭)

[TRINA]
Jason dear, hello
Are you packed and waiting?
But before we go
Let me speak with father alone

Now as the bar mitzvah nears-
Jason, put your Walkerman on and hum
Since this is the last loving thing
We'll probably ever do together

(lmao it really is ✊🏽😪)

Let's act adult and not go crazy

[MARVIN]
Have you chosen yet who'll cater?

[TRINA]
What about it?

[MARVIN]
I know a person who can cater

"Me!" Cordelia cheered, making the rest of them laugh.

[TRINA]
It's a personal decision who should cater

[MARVIN]
Can we consider who's gonna cater?

[TRINA]
Shh!

[MARVIN]
Please?

[TRINA]
Shh!

[MARVIN]
Please?

[TRINA]
Shh!

[MENDEL]
Stop! This is so much crap
Throw a simple party!
Religion's just a trap

"Don't think that's a good idea to say to someone planning a Bar Mitzvah." Jade stated.

That ensnares the weak and the dumb
Hey! Stop with the prayers

[TRINA]
How can you stop with the prayers at a bar mitzvah?

[MENDEL]
The whole thing's voodoo
And I know more than you do!

[MARVIN & TRINA]
This is the year of Jason's bar mitzvah!
We're more excited than we should be
This is the year of the child
When he spreads out his wings!

The group laugh at On Stage Jason dancing, the Jason in the theatre shrinks in his seat.

There's music in his heart!
His life's about to start!
His body's going wild!
My child

[MARVIN]
My child

[TRINA]
Our child

[MENDEL]
Children, please
Throw the kid a celebration and relax
I'll bring women from the wrong side of the tracks

"Sir, he is twelve and a half." Issie says, raising her eyebrows.

We'll have a ball!
I guess I'll have to raise this Jason myself

MARVI[N]
Isn't he an asshole?

[TRINA]---------------------[MENDEL]
Yes, he is.--------------------My own bar mitzvah was

[MARVIN]
Isn't he too much?----------A miserable occasion

[TRINA]
Yeah, but so are you--------The cause for such
Really, kiddo, so are you----Abrasion in my family

[MARVIN]
Jesus, what an asshole!----It still gives me hives
Jason, where's my hug?

(that parts confusing sorry, but at least i now know what Mendel sings)

[TRINA]
Where's my hug?

[MARVIN]
Where's my hug?

[MARVIN, TRINA, & MENDEL]
This is the year for Jason's bar mitzvah
This is the year for Jason's bar mitzvah!

[Doorbell rings]

[CHARLOTTE]
Look, look, look, look, look
It's a lesbian from next door!

The group cheers pretty loudly.

[CORDELIA]
Followed by her lover
Who's a lesbian from next door too!

Said lesbians smile at each other.

And I've got food for you
Delicious food for you!
Nouvelle bar mitzvah cuisine!

[TRINA]
Ah...

[CORDELIA]
Here's dietetic knishes, gefilte fishes

Cordelia laughs at the way she used to say "gefilte".

Food that's from the heart!
So take a bite and see
If all your friends agree
It's good!

[MARVIN, TRINA, MENDEL, CHARLOTTE, & CORDELIA]
Yummy yummy
Yummy yummy
Yummy yummy
Yummy yummy
Yummy yummy yummy yummy yum!

We'll have one perfect time!
We'll spend billions of dollars!

[TRINA]
Conga!

Jade and Issie get up to dance.

[MARVIN, TRINA, MENDEL, CHARLOTTE, & CORDELIA]
We'll have flowers galore (Whoo!)
And the band will sound fine! (Whoo!)
There'll be chandeliers set round the room
With the men in tuxedos!

There'll be food, like food never before!
What a day to remember!
This is the year of Jason's bar mitzvah!

[JASON]
They're more excited than they should be

Chuckles were heard around the room.

[MARVIN, TRINA, MENDEL, CHARLOTTE, & CORDELIA]
This is the year of the child
When he spreads out his wings!
There's music in his heart!
His life's about to start!
His body's going wild!
My
Child!

The group cheer at the harmony. Jade and Issie sit back down.
