Look at this crib

In all of its glorious antiquary

Every curve and surface speaks to me

Saying pamper and spoil me

Sand me and oil me

Come on

I know to the untrained eye it's boring

But nothing's a chore when you're restoring

Apart from frustration pain and financial drain

It's fun

Folks say Adam

Why do you polish your crib

When you don't have a kid

And even if you did have a kid

This crib is too precious for placing a baby inside it

So it simply exists to remind you

Your sense of perfection is just a reflection

That you are not mentally prepared

To make room for a kid Adam

Why don't you live Adam

Just make a start

Are you willing to take the next step

Ready set-

Ready set-

BARBARA spoken: Look at these jugs

(sung) Amazingly glazed and terracotta-ery

I took some clay and made you pottery

The world will never wreck you

I'll protect you in a mother's embrace

Folks say Barbara

Why can't you see that ceramics

Is simply a manifestation of motherly panic

By making a baby that's breakable

Aren't you creating a way of translating the terror

Of making maternal mistakes into clay

Hiding away

So you don't have to face being a bad mom Barbara

That's what you've done Barbara

Just make a start

Are you willing to take the next step

Ready set-

BOTH: Here we stand

At the end of a 10-year plan

A house

A yard

A minivan

A baby should be next

Together let's leap off the cliff

Fall forever then smash to bits

Trapped in a terrifying viper pit

Of diapers and regret

Are we willing to take the next step

ADAM: Ready set-

BARBARA: Ready set-

ADAM: Not yet

BARBARA: Not yet

ADAM: Why rush

BARBARA: Why rush

BOTH: Soon enough our hopes and our dreams will be crushed

BARBARA: But not yet

ADAM: But not yet

BARBARA: Not now

ADAM: Not now

Ooohh

No

See We can't start a family in a house with creaky floorboards

BARBARA: You are absolutely right

Let's add it to the list

With the cracks in the plaster

ADAM: The wi-fi should be faster

BARBARA: This sofa needs a castor

ADAM: The bathroom's a disaster

BARBARA: What about global poverty

ADAM: What about world peace

BARBARA: Then there's the whole darn economy

ADAM: The whole Middle East

BARBARA: We should learn Mandarin

ADAM: Yeah Or Spanish at least

BOTH: No habla español

Dos cervezas por favor

And that's all we got

And that's not a lot

Do we want a bilingual household or not

So let's go slow

No breaking a sweat

What's the point of having children

If we're drowning in debt

BARBARA: Now we're totally

ADAM: Completely

BARBARA: Maybe eighty percent

ADAM: I'd say seventy-eight

BOTH (BEETLEJUICE): Ready to take

The next step (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah )

The next step (Zooby dooby dooby dooby dop dop bow )

The next step (Zweeby beeby boo-bah-bah-dee )

The next step

Ready set let's-

BEETLEJUICE: See I wasn't kidding

It's a show about death
