Lyrics :
[ADAM]
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

(FLOORBOARD CREAKS)

[ADAM, spoken]
Ooohh?

(FLOORBOARD CREAKS)

[ADAM, spoken]
No!

(FLOORBOARD CREAKS)

[ADAM, spoken]
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 and 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!

The Accompanist has created a collection of Piano Accompaniments of Musical Theatre and Popular music songs.

These Broadway and West End accompaniments have been specifically performed to match the tempos of the original (cast) recordings where possible. These karaoke style tracks have been created to give the audition performer the sound of what is likely within an audition environment where often we are not faced with a full orchestra but simply a pianist. Therefore the songs can sound very different to the fully orchestrated version.

The tracks are designed to be used either in performance or as practice for auditions. You are more than welcome to use the track to create your own YouTube cover of the song. If you could put a link back to this video in your description that would be amazing of you. I'm creating a playlist on my channel page of covers using The Accompanist's tracks so let me know if you do a cover using it and I'll add it to this channel's covers playlist.
