The Meek Shall Inherit Lyrics - Singles - Little Shop Of Horrors

Seymour Krelbourne, so finally we meet you 

This is an occasion, let's toast it, up yours, relax 

Canape? Cigarette? 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 

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 

(Your pen or mine?) 

It's not demand and supply 

(That'll do fine) 

You'll make a fortune, we swear it 

(What could 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
