Oh, What a Lovely Trip! Lyrics by Stephin Merritt

Coraline Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording

2010

[Father & Mother]
Oh, what a lovely trip without Coraline
What a vacation we can have all to ourselves
Now we can disco dance
Now we can join the social whirl
Going to parties we could never go to with that girl
Why does it always seem to rain around Coraline?
Why does the sunlight only shine everywhere else?
God thing her Other Mother's making her a family
She can take infinitely better care of her than we
[Father]
Tra la la la
[Mother]

[Father]
Oh, but it's true, we never really loved Caroline
[Coraline]
Coraline!
[Mother]
Isn't her Other Mother trusty and sincere?
[Father]
If only you could learn who does her Other Mother's hair!
[Mother]
If only you could emulate her culinary savoir-faire!
[Father & Mother]
Oh, what a lovely trip without Coraline
