[Gomez] Ah, the intoxicating spell of the graveyard Once a year when the last leaf of autumn falls We gather to honor the great cycle of life and death Come, every member of our clan, living, dead And undecided And let us celebrate what is to be an Addams [Gomez] When you're an Addams You need to have a little moonlight When you're an Addams You need to feel a little chill You have to see the world in shades of gray You have to put some poison in your day [Morticia] That's the the way [Gomez and Morticia] When you're an Addams [Gomez] You need to have a sense of humor [Gomez and Morticia] When you're an Addams [Morticia] You need to have a taste for death [Gomez and Morticia] Who cares about the world outside And what it wants from you?

[Addams Family] When you're an Addams [Gomez] You gotta have a lotta passion [Addams Family] When you're an Addams [Morticia] You need to really love your wife [Gomez] Several times a day!
