 Hey, Seymour Krelborn, you prince you
 My name is Bernstein
 I'm with NBC
 I came down here to convince you
 To do a weekly T.V. show for me
 "Seymour Krelborn's gardening tips"
 For half an hour on Sundays, at four
 T.V's first home gardening program
 You'll make a mint and our ratings will soar!
 [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

 [MRS LUCE
 So delighted to make your acquaintance
 Cutie...Sweetness...
 Seymour...Babydoll...
 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

 [RONETTE
 Owner of the fabulous Audrey Two.
 America's most amazing - and largest - unidentified plant
 [SNIP
 We've been trying to reach you, baby.
 Have your phones been busy!
 Did you get our telegram?
 [SEYMOUR
 [SNIP
 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
 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!
 (They say the meek shall inherit)
 Where do I sign?
 (You know the book doesn't lie)
 [SNIP
 (It's not a question of merit)
 [SNIP
 (It's not demand and supply)
 [SNIP
 (You'll make a fortune, we swear it)
 [SNIP
 (If on this fact you rely-)
 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!
