歌曲歌詞
Seymour Krelbourn
So finally we meet you
This is an occasion
Let's toast it Up yours
Relax Canape
Let's talk turkey Sign here
And we'll book you on lecturing tours
Be a star And we're sending
Photographers Thursday
So get the plant ready
And wear a clean shirt
Just sign this release
Need a pen Aren't you thrilled
It's the cover of Life magazine
Dessert
I'm telling you son
It's a cinch 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 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 impov'rished 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
If on this fact you rely
Bye bye So long
You know the meek are gonna
Get what's comin' to 'em
You know the meek are gonna
Get what's comin' to 'em
You know the meek are gonna
Get what's comin' to 'em
By and by
