"Seymour Krelbourne, so finally we meet you! This is an occassion, let's toast! Relax! Let's talk turkey Sign here and we'll book you on lecturing tours"
"Be a star, dear We're sending photographer's Thursday So, get the plant ready, and wear a clean shirt Just sign this release! Aren't you thrilled? It's the cover of Life Magazine!"
"I'm telling you son, it's a sinch to get ratings The title is Marvin's The concept is mine The first weekly gardening show on a network And you're gonna host it, you lucky kid! Sign!"
They say the meek shall inherit
You know the book doesn't lie
It's not a question of merit
It's not demand and supply
They say the meek gonna get it
"And you're a meek little guy"
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em
By and by
My future's starting
I've got to let it
Stick with that plant
And gee, my bank account will thrive
What am I saying?
No way! Forget it!
It's much to dangerous
To keep that plant alive
I take these offers,
That means more killing
Who knew success would come
With messy nasty strings
I sign these contracts,
That means I'm willing
To keep on doing
Bloody, awful, evil things
No! No!
There's only so far you can bend!
No! No!
This nightmare must come to an end!
No! No!
You've got no alternative, Seymour, old boy!
Though it means you'll be broke again, and unemployed!
It's the only solution, it can't be avoided!
The vegetable must be destroyed!
But then, there's Audrey
Lovely, Audrey
If life were taudry,
and impoverished as before,
She might not like me
She might not want me
Without my plant
She might not love me, anymore
They say the meek shall inherit
Where do I sign?
You know the book doesn't lie
Right on the line
It's not a question of merit
That'll do fine
It's not demand and supply
This copy's mine
You'll make a fortune, we swear it
Couldn't go wrong
If on this fact you rely!
Bye-bye, So-Long!
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to them
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to them
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to them
By-and-by
