"Days Like This" lyrics

[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 & CORDELIA:]
Whizzer, kid, you're
So, let's begin
Looking very good today
It's medicine!
You had to see yourself
It could be we're both
Going to cure you
A few days back
Me with my soup
I had a heart attack!
She with her medication
Jesus!
Such elation!

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:]
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 & 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:]
Whizzer, kid
Rugelach
Whizzer
He'll make
You're looking
Gefilte fish
Hello, gee

So good
You look

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:]
