The Meek Shall Inherit
Lyricist:Howard Ashman, Alan Menken
Seymour Krelbourne, so finally we meet you This is an occasion, let's toast it, up yours, relax Canape? [Incomprehensible]let's talk turkey, sign here And we'll book you on lecturing tours
Yes darlin' we're sending photographer's 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 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 ([Incomprehnsible]fine) It's not demand and supply ([Incomprehensible]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 them You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to them You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to them By and by
