[AGENT 1]<br>
Seymour Krelbourn, so finally we meet you<br>
This is an occasion. Let's toast it. Up yours<br>
Relax. Canape? ?? Let's talk turkey. Sign here<br>
and we'll book you on lecturing tours<br>
<br>
[AGENT 2]<br>
Be a star. And we're sending photographers Thursday<br>
So get the plant ready and wear a clean shirt<br>
Just sign this release. Need a pen? Aren't you thrilled?<br>
It's the cover of Life magazine. Dessert?<br>
<br>
[AGENT 3]<br>
I'm telling you son, it's a cinch to get ratings<br>
The title is Marvin's. The concept is mine<br>
The first weekly gardening show on a network<br>
and you're gonna host it, you lucky kid, sign<br>
<br>
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]<br>
They say the meek shall inherit<br>
You know the book doesn't lie<br>
It's not a question of merit<br>
It's not demand and supply<br>
They say the meek gonna get it<br>
And you're a meek little guy<br>
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em by and by<br>
<br>
[SEYMOUR]<br>
My future's starting<br>
I've got to let it<br>
Stick with that plant, and gee, my bank account will thrive<br>
What am I saying? No way! Forget it!<br>
It's much too dangerous to keep that plant alive<br>
<br>
I take these offers, that means more killing<br>
Who knew success would come with messy, nasty strings?<br>
I sign these contracts, that means I'm willing<br>
to keep on doing bloody, awful, evil things<br>
<br>
No! No! There's only so far you can bend<br>
No! No! This nightmare must come to an end<br>
No! No! You've got no alternative, Seymour old boy<br>
Though it means you'll be broke again and unemployed,<br>
It's the only solution. It can't be avoided<br>
The vegetable must be destroyed<br>
<br>
But then there's Audrey, lovely Audrey.<br>
If life were tawdry and impov'rished as before,<br>
She might not like me, she might not want me<br>
Without my plant, she might not love me anymore<br>
<br>

[SEYMOUR]<br>
Where do I sign?<br>
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]<br>
You know the book doesn't lie <br>
[SEYMOUR]<br>
Right on the line?<br>
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]<br>
It's not a question of merit <br>
[SEYMOUR]<br>
That'll do fine.<br>
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]<br>
It's not demand and supply<br>
[SEYMOUR]<br>
This copy's mine?<br>
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]<br>
You'll make a fortune, we swear it, <br>
<br>
If on this fact you rely <br>
Bye bye. So long.<br>
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em,<br>
you know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em,<br>
you know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em<br>
by and by.<br>
<br>
