Viewing Lyrics for The Meek Shall Inherit:
| | | Artist: | Various Artists |
| | Album: | Little Shop Of Horrors | | Track: | The Meek Shall Inherit | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 55 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 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
veg'table 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, Couldn't go wrong.
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
