Adam:
Look at this crib
'Oh, gosh, this is about us' said Barbara as gripped his hands and rested her head on his chest. They'd hoped that the musical wouldn't mention their child problem and that it would mainly focus on Beetlejuice and Lydia, as they hadn't told their new family about the issue. Adam rubbed his wife's shoulder comfortingly and kissed her head
'If it comes up, we'll explain, but lets try to forget about it' he whispered to her. She nodded and curled up more into his side.
In all of its glorious antiquary
Every curve and surface speaks to me
'Bet you say that to Barbara a lot' said Beetlejuice and Adam blushed. Barbara stuck her foot out and kicked the demon and then snuggled up into her husbands side again.
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
'I almost miss our old life' whispered Adam
'Almost?' asked Barbara, looking up at Adam
'Almost' repeated Adam and he kissed Barbara's head
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
Charles and Delia looked sadly over at the ghost couple, who were looking down sadly.
Adam, why don't you live?
Adam, just make a start
Are you willing to take the next step?
Ready, set
Ready, set
'No offence you guys' said Lydia, turning to the Maitlands 'But I don't think I would've liked you guys when you were alive. You're a lot more fun like this' Barbara and Adam smiled at the teenager and continued watching the video
Barbara:
Look at these jugs!
'Beetlejuice!' exclaimed Delia. Because the Beetlejuice on the screen had whipped his head around only to turn around disappointed when the Barbara on the screen held up to clay jugs.
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.
'You guys would've been amazing parents' said Lydia. The Maitlands smiled sadly at her and Adam rubbed Barbara's back comfortingly
'Thanks Lyds, although we see you as our child in some ways' said Adam. Lydia broke out into a huge grin while Beetlejuice pretended to gag on the floor. Barbara reached out and slapped his shoulder.
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
'She can sing really well' said Barbara 'All these people can, its amazing'
'You guys should try to learn these songs afterwards' said Delia
'YES!' exclaimed Beetlejuice. Delia sighed and shook her head, going back to watching the screen
Adam and Barbara (Beetlejuice):
Here we stand
At the end of a 10-year plan
A house, a yard, a minivan
A baby should be next
Barbara gripped Adams shirt tightly in her fist and tried to block out the sound of the baby talk. It still hurt her that she never got to be the mother that she dreamed of being for so many years. Adam gently rubbed his wife's back and started playing with her hair, which he knew always calmed her down. They'd always pushed their past problems aside and got on with life, and they still intended to do that. They didn't want their friends worrying about them or pitying them, they just wanted to forget about it all together.
Together let's leap off the cliff
'Little did they now...' murmured Beetlejuice
Fall forever, then smash to bits
Trapped in a terrifying viper pit
Of diapers and regret
Are we willing to take the next step? Ready, set
Ready, set
Not yet
Not yet
Why rush?
Why rush?
Soon enough, our hopes and our dreams will be crushed. But not yet!
'Ya know' said Delia, speaking up for the first time in a while 'These two people would actually make an extremely cute couple. They're so dorky and sweet and actually exactly like the real Maitlands'
'We cannot sing like that' said Barbara 'Thats for sure'
'I wanna see you guys try at least' said Lydia
'Another time' said Adam, turning back to the screen
'Boring...' muttered Lydia and Beetlejuice
Not yet!
Not now
Not now
Ooohh?
No!
See?
We can't start a family in a house with creaky floorboards
'Little did we know' said Adam
'I wonder how they will represent falling through a floor on a stage show?' asked Lydia
'Good question' said Charles 'It would actually be extremely difficult and challenging to pull something like that off'
'Well theres one way to find out' said Delia 'Lets watch'
You are absolutely right. Let's add it to the list
With the cracks in the plaster
The wi-fi should be faster
This sofa needs a castor
The bathroom's a disaster! What about global poverty?
What about world peace?
Then there's the whole darn economy
The whole Middle East
'You seriously think you can fix that?' asked Beetlejuice
'We never said that' said Barbara
We should learn Mandarin
Yeah!
Or Spanish at least. No habla español
Dos cervezas por favor
'What does that translate to?' asked Barbara
'Um, something about not speaking Spanish and wanting to beers please' said Delia
'Thats golden' said Lydia, laughing
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?
'Good point' said Charles
Now we're totally
Completely
Maybe eighty percent
I'd say seventy-eight, Ready to take
The next step (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah Yeah!)
'Seriously?' asked Adam, looking down at Beetlejuice 'A bucket of popcorn and a drink? And 3D glasses?'
'Its not the real me' said Beetlejuice 'But I do like this guys style'
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-
'I can't believe they pulled that off' said Delia 'That actually looks so realistic'
'It does' agreed Charles and Lydia
'I like it' said Beetlejuice. The Maitlands remained silent and hugged each other close, not liking seeing how they died recreated on stage
See I wasn't kidding
It's a show about death!
'Well, that was charming' said Beetlejuice 'Next one?'
'Hold on' said Lydia 'Are you guys ok with watching this still? You seem kinda uncomfortable and sad' she looked at the Maitlands, who smiled back at her
'No, we're fine' said Adam 'Theres something we should tell you guys but it can wait for another time. Don't mind us, we're really enjoying this'
'Yeah, we are' said Barbara 'Now, onto the next song!'
~AN: I hope you enjoyed. I'm thinking about putting in a couple of reactions to cut songs. ~
