Days Like This

Whizzer
Good morning

Marvin
Whizzer, kid, you’re looking very good today
You had to see yourself a few days back
I had a heart attack!
Jesus
But today you seem to be
On the way to recovery!
Oh whizzer, I want to applaud!
It’s days like this I almost believe in God
Days like this I almost believe
In God

[Cordelia enters, with food]

Cordelia
Hello!

Whizzer
Hi! Food

Cordelia
Rugelach!
Gefilte fish!
It’s so good, you’d think it’s italian!
Also a soup made from chicken
That, though un-exotic, is antibiotic!
Oh, I’m up to my ass
In a kosher morass!
For aches and croup
Try my chicken soup!

Marvin and cordelia
But today you seem to be
On the way to recovery!
Oh, whizzer, I want to applaud!
It’s days like this we almost believe in God
Days like this we almost believe
In

Cordelia
Gefilte fish!

Marvin
God!

Cordelia
Canadelach!
[Trina and mendel enter]

Trina
Hi

Whizzer
Hi

Trina
We had trouble parking
Just like on our second date

Mendel
I hyperventilate
But since I’m parking in the city, I’ve improved
Or else the hydrants moved!

Cordelia
[Laughs]

No? Okay

Mendel
Go ahead, be good and pissed
‘How can I help? ” says the wiry psychiatrist!
Trina
He’ll make you well!

Whizzer
Right

Mendel
I’ll make you well!

[Charlotte and jason enter]

Charlotte and jason
Whizzer, hello!

Jason
Gee, you look awful
I think you need to play some chess

Whizzer
Jason, sit down and begin

Jason
I’ll let you win, whizzer

Whizzer
Don’t let me win

Jason
I’ll let you win

Marvin, trina, mendel, jason, charlotte, cordelia
But today you seem to be
On the way to recovery!
Oh, whizzer, I want to applaud!
It’s days like this we almost believe in God
Days like this we almost believe in God
Days like this we almost believe in God
Days like this we almost believe
In

Trina
What is this?

Cordelia
Gefilt-ee fish!
