"Pulled" from "The Addams Family"

WEDNESDAY
I don't have a sunny disposition
I'm not known for being too amused
My demeanor's locked in one position
See my face?
I'm enthused
Suddenly, however, I've been puzzled
Bunny rabbits make me want to cry
All my inhibitions have been muzzled
And I think I know why-
I'm being pulled in a new direction
But I think I like it
I think I like it
I'm being pulled in a new direction
Through my painful pursuit
Somehow birdies took root
All the things I detested
Impossibly cute
God! What do I do??
Mother always said, "be kind to strangers"
But she doesn't know what they destroy
I can feel the clear and present dangers
When she learns that the boy...
Has got me pulled in a new direction
PUGSLEY
Aaaaaah!
WEDNESDAY
But I think I like it
PUGSLEY
That was good, that was good!
WEDNESDAY
I think I like it
PUGSLEY
Do it again, do it again!
WEDNESDAY
I'm being pulled in a new direction
PUGSLEY
Aaaaaah!
WEDNESDAY
And this feeling I know
Is impossible, so I'll confide that I've tried
But I can't let it go
Its disgustingly true
Pulled-
PUGSLEY
Aah!
WEDNESDAY
Pulled-
PUGSLEY
Aah!
WEDNESDAY
Pulled-
PUGSLEY
Aaaaaah!
WEDNESDAY
Puppy dogs with droopy faces
Unicorns with dancing mice
Sunrise in wide open spaces
Disney World? I'll go there twice!
Butterflies at picnic lunches
Bunches of chrsanthemums
Lollipops and pillow fights
And Christmas Eve? Sugarplums!
String quartets and Chia pets
And afternoon banana splits
Angels watching as I sleep
And Liberace's greatest hits
Have got me pulled in a new direction
If they keep insisting
I'll stop resisting
Just watch me pulled in a new direction
I should stay in the dark
Not obey every spark
But the boy has a bite
Better far than his bark
And you bet I'll bite, too
Do what's truly taboo
As I'm pulled in a new direction!
