Join The Family Business

We've been the pride of Romania
 Since twelve-o-one,
 Passed on for generations,
 Father to son,
 Descended from Gypsies,
 As proud as we can be,
 Don't risk my curse
 It would be worse
 Embrace your fam'ly tree!
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness,
 Learn the fam'ly trade
 Make yourself a monster,
 Make the world afraid!
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness,
 You must take the fam'ly name,
 Follow in our footsteps,
 And you'll win eternal fame!
 The Roqueforts are celebrated
 For their Roquefort cheese,
 The Rothschilds are famous
 For their wines,
 Hershey's have their choc'lates
 And Liptons have their teas,
 But when it comes to making monsters,
 You can't beat the Frankensteins!
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness,
 Rob a grave or two,
 Stop the shop from closing,
 It all depends on you!
 Uphold the fam'ly honor,
 You must toe the fam'ly line,
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness,
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness,
 For your name is Frankenstein!
 (spoken)
 Meet your family!
 ALL (sung):
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness,
 Show some fam'ly pride
 Make yourself a monster . . .
 And then you'll make his bride!
 Listen to your great, great, great
 Grandfather Mordecai
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness
 If you don't want to die!
 As you know predestination
 From the day of your creation
 Has determined you vocation
 That's a fact.
 1ST SOLO:
 Because you are a Frankenstein
 2ND SOLO:
 You have no choice
 3RD SOLO:
 You can't decline
 4TH SOLO:
 So show some spine
 It's time to sign
 The fam'ly pact.
 This is your fate
 Become a Frankenstein
 Before it's too late!
 We know you won't regret it,
 You should express your willingness
 Why not acquiesce, reassess,
 You're under stress
 Just relax and make a serum
 Come up with a brilliant theorem,
 Take your knife, create a life
 It ain't no fuss!
 Join the fam'ly enterprise,
 Best be prudent,
 Best be wise!
 Time to open up your eyes
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness
 Join the fam'ly enterprise,
 Best be prudent,
 Best be wise!
 Time to open up your eyes
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness
 Join the fam'ly enterprise,
 Best be prudent,
 Best be wise!
 Time to open up your eyes
 Come on come clean
 Don't make a scene
 Your name's not Fronkasteen
 Join the fam'ly bus'ness
 Learn the family trade
 Make yourself a monster
 Make the world afraid
 This is one position
 That you never can resign
 Do not make a fuss,
 There's nothing to discuss
 You must be one of us
 Young Frankenstein!!
