There he is girls
I found him
There's Seymour
Can we have your autograph?
We saw you on the channel five news!
You look so handsome!
And you're gonna be so rich!
Please girls, not now
Is it true Audrey II is grand marshal for the rose bowl!
Is it true the shop is decorating the senior prom!
Yes it's all true
Now please
There's another big hot shot looking for you Seymour
From uptown
He's been asking all over, where can he find you
You're famous Seymour!
Is this him?
That's him Mr. Bernstein
Thank you girls
Seymour Krelborn, sweetie, honey baby, pussycats
Do I know you?
Of course not, but are you gonna be happy when you do
Seymour, sweetheart,dollface, bubela
Hey Seymour Krelborn, you prince you
My name is Bernstein, I'm with N.B.C.
I came down here to convince you
To do a weekly T.V. show for me
Seymour Krelborn's Gardening Tips
For half and hour on Sunday's at four
T.V.'s first home-gardeing program
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 comin' to 'em by and by
Your own tv show!
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. Luce
We found him, he's right here
Look girls I dont wanna see anybody else today
My darling, my precious, my sweet, sweet thing
So delighted to make your acquaintance
Cutie, sweetness, Seymour, babydoll
I'd like a word with you, lover
I'm sure you know me, the Editor's wife
We want your face on the cover
of the December 3rd issue of Life
Yes the front of Life Magazine
Now that's an honor we so seldom grant
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 comin' to 'em by and by
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
Americas most amazing and larget unidentified plant
Oh so this is Seymour Kremhorn
We've been trying to reach you baby
Have your phones been busy?
Did you get our telegram?
I dont think so
Its a good thing I came down here in person then
Pleased to meet you kid
Skid Snip, William Morris Agency
Forget the cable we sent you
It's nice to meet me, the pleasure is yours
Now let my firm represent you
We want to book you on lecturing tours
College campus, Rotary Clubs
The kind of bookings my office can do
Show the plant, then talk, answer questions
It's educational, lucrative too
Mys 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 the 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 copies mine
You'll make a fortune, we swear it
Couldn't go wrong
if on this fact you rely
You know the meek are gonna get
What's comin' to 'em
You know the meek are gonna get
Whats comin' to em'
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to em'
By and by
I found him
