CRYSTAL, RONETTE AND CHIFFON: 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

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 third 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
CRYSTAL, RONETTE AND CHIFFON: 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

SNIP: Ooooh, so this is Seymour Kramhorn? We've been trying to reach you, baby. Have your phones been busy! Did you get our telegram?
SEYMOUR: I don't think so
SNIP: Well, it's a good thing I came down in person then. Pleased to meet you, kid. Skip 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 kinda bookings my office can do- Show the plant, then talk, answer questions It's educational, lucrative too
SEYMOUR: 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 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 any more!
