Little Shop Of Horrors - Somewhere That's Green lyrics

rate me

[Audrey]

I know Seymour's the greatest

But I'm dating a semi-sadist.

So I've got a black eye

And my arm's in a cast.

Still, that Seymour's a cutie.

Well, if not, he's got inner beauty.

And I dream of a place

Where we could be together at last-

((Following spoken while music plays))

[Crystal]

What kind of place is that, honey? An emergency room?

[Audrey]

Oh no. It's just a daydream of mine. A little development I dream of.

Just off the Interstate. Not fancy like Levittown. Just a little street

in a little suburb, far far from Urban Skid Row. The sweetest, greenest

place- where everybody has the same little lawn out front and the

same little flagstone patio out back. And all the houses are so neat

and pretty... 'Cause they all look just alike. Oh, I dream about it all the

time. Just me. And the toaster. And a sweet little guy. Like Seymour-

((Back to singing))

A matchbox of our own

A fence of real chain link

A grill out on the patio

Disposal in the sink

A washer and a dryer and

an ironing machine

In a tract house that we share

Somewhere that's green

He rakes and trims the grass

He loves to mow and weed

I cook like Betty Crocker

And I look like Donna Reed

There's plastic on the furniture

To keep it neat and clean

In the Pine-Sol scented air,

Somewhere that's green

Between our frozen dinner

And our bed-time: nine-fifteen

We snuggle watching Lucy

On our big, enormous

Twelve-inch screen

I'm his December Bride

He's father, he knows best

The kids watch Howdy Doody

As the sun sets in the west

A picture out of Better Homes

and Gardens Magazine

Far from Skid Row

I dream we'll go

somewhere that's... green
