La Behemoth Lyrics

Marita: Flavio, Flavio, Flavio!
Flavio: Marita, Marita, Marita!
F+M : What shall we do?
What will become of us two?
The help is gone, the maid is through,
What will become of us two?
MaleTB: (spoken) Uh oh. Now who'll clean our cages?

Marita: I'm calling up the agency to find a new housekeeper
Flavio: She's calling up the agency to find a new housekeeper!
Marita: A chambermaid, a gourmet chef, a trendy carpet sweeper
Flavio: A chambermaid, a gourmet chef, a trendy carpet sweeper!
Marita: (spoken) Why are you repeating everything that I am singing?
Flavio: (sung) Why am I repeating everything that you--
(spoken) I do not know.

Marita: (into phone) Hello, hello, Marita Hippo here,
I'm having an emergency
My life is filled with urgency
We need to hire servancy
We need a new housekeeper!
(spoken) But...but...oh, very well.
Flavio: Marita, my poor wilting lily, what is the matter?
Marita: They cannot send us a new maid until Monday morning.
Flavio: Monday morning?!
F+M : (sung) What shall we do?
What will become of us two?

Flavio: (spoken) Have no fear, Marita dear, I have a plan.
Marita: Pray tell, Flavio!
Flavio: (sung) I'll do the windows and push the vacuum
Polish the parlor, scrub out the bathroom!
(spoken) Ung! This is _hard_.

Marita: I will not worry; I will not fear
I'll do laundry until help is here,Animaniacs - La Behemoth - http://motolyrics.com/animaniacs/la-behemoth-lyrics.html
Fold the trousers and starch the shirts
And I'll do laundry until it hurts!
(spoken) Aie! This is really not so amusing!

Flavio: Dinner is easy, simple like a dream
Cleaning the chicken, scrubbing the beans!
Add in two tablespoons into a pot,
Stir fry until hot! (BOOM!)
(spoken) Perhaps next time we take out Chinese.

Tbirds: Poor little hippos, husband and wife,
They haven't a clue; they haven't a life.
A tragic conclusion; see how they cry,
Poor hippopotami!

F+M : What will we do?
What will become of me and you?

(doorbell rings, maid returns)

Maid : (spoken) I forgot my featherduster.
Flavio: (sung) We realize we've been wrong; we treated you unfair.
How can we make it up and show you how we care?
F+M : Come clean for us,
Come clean for us,
Come back and clean for us.
We'll give you anything you ask,
Just say you'll clean for us!
Maid : (spoken) Oh, alright.
F+M : (sung) She'll clean for us!
She'll clean for us!
She said she really will!
A happy ending, everyone,
She said she'll clean for us!
MaleTB: (spoken) There's a twist -- an opera with a happy ending.
