Letra
(spoken) There he is, girls! I found him! There's Seymour! Seymour, can we have your autograph? We saw you on Channel Five news! You looked so handsome. And you're gonna be so rich! Please, girls, not now Is it true Audrey II's is grand marshall for the Rose Bowl? Is it true the shop is decorating the senior prom? It's all true, now please... There's another big hot shot looking for you, Seymour. From uptown. He's been askin' all over where can he find you. You're famous, Seymour! Is that him? That's him, Mr. Bernstein Thank you, girls! Seymour Krelbourne... sweetie, honey, baby, pu**ycat! Do I know you? Of course not, but are you gonna be happy when you do! Seymour, sweetheart, dollface, [???] (sung) Hey, Seymour Krelbourn, you prince, you My name is Bernstein, I'm with NBC I came down here to convince you To do a weekly TV show for me "Seymour Krelbourn's Gardening Tips" - you like it? I love it! For half an hour on Sundays at four Mmm, TV's first home gardening programme You'll make a mint and our ratings will soar! 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 coming to 'em By and by (spoken) Your own TV show, Seymour! Coast-to-coast! Your name in lights! Your face on screen! Sign it! Sign it! Sign that contract! Isn't it exciting? Here he is, Mrs. Loose! We found him! He's right here! Oh, my darling! My precious! My sweet, sweet thing! I'm so delighted to make your acquaintance. Cutie, sweetness, Seymour, baby doll. I'd like a word with you, lover. I'm sure you know me, the editor's wife! We want your face on a cover of the December 3rd issue of Life! Yes, the front of Life magazine! Now that's an honour we so seldom grant. Mmm. We'll send someone down, let's say, Thursday for shots of you and your beautiful plant 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 coming to 'em By and by (spoken) Life magazine! Oh my goodness, Seymour, you're gonna make it straight to the top! How did you do it? Here he is, sir! The incredible Seymour Krelborn! Owner of the fabulous Audrey II: America's most amazing and largest unidentified plant! So! This is Seymour Krelborn! Ha, we've been trying to reach you, baby, have your lines been busy! Did you get our telegram? I don't think so Well, it's a good thing I came down in person. Pleased to meet ya, kid. Skip, Snip, William, Morris Agency (sung) Forget the cable we sent you It's nice to meet me, the pleasure is yours Now let my firm represent you We wanna book you on lecturing tours College campus, Rotary Club The kind of bookings my office can do Show the plant and talk, answer questions It's educational - lucrative, too! 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 too 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 tawdry 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 cup is mine) You'll make a fortune, we swear it (Couldn't go wrong) If on this fact you rely (I pass along...) You know the meek are gonna get what's coming to 'em You know the meek are gonna get what's coming to 'em You know the meek are gonna get what's coming to 'em By and by
