Time for some Little Shop of Horrors lyrics! (You knew it was coming.)
Little Shop of Horrors - Mushnik & Son
MUSHNIK
He’ll think about it?
He’ll think about it!
SEYMOUR
I don’t like that guy, Mr. Mushnik
And you should hear the way he talks to Audrey
MUSHNIK
Gott in himmel, no, the kid just said he’d mull it over
SEYMOUR
No wonder she looks so unhealthy
It’s enough to make you sick!
MUSHNIK
If he left me,
If Seymour left me
Why then I’d be
Right back where I started, which was
Broke and starving!
SEYMOUR
Sweet and good and beautiful as she is
She deserves a prince, not a sadistic creep like him
MUSHNIK
Close to bankrupt!
SEYMOUR
What a louse!
MUSHNIK
Beset, befuddled and bereft!
That’s what I’d be if Seymour left!
SEYMOUR
He’s a disgrace to the dental profession!
MUSHNIK
Seymour!
SEYMOUR
Sir?
MUSHNIK
Seeeymooour…
How would you like to be my son?
How would you like to be my own adopted boy?
(I never liked him much before,
But count the cash that’s in the drawer!
I got no choice, I’m much too poor!)
Say yes!
SEYMOUR
What for?
MUSHNIK
Seymour, I want to be your dad!
I want to see you climbing up my family tree
I used to think you left a stench
But now I see that you’re a mensch
So I’m proposing, be my son!
Mushnik and son! Sounds great
Three words with the ring of fate!
So say you’ll incorporate with me
A florist dream come true
Mushnik and his boychic, you!
What business we’ll do for FTD!
How ‘bout it, Seymour, be my son?
Just say the word, I’ll get my lawyer on the phone
SEYMOUR
Now, Mr. Mushnik, don’t be rash
You always said that I was trash
MUSHNIK
Oh, I was joking
SEYMOUR
Sir, I’m choking!
MUSHNIK
‘Scuse the physical expression of my pride
Of the sweet, paternal mishigus
I’ve held pent up inside
Yoy, yoy, yoy! Yoy, yoy, yoy!
Yoy, yoy-yoy-yoy, yoy-yoy-yoy, yoy
Yoyyyyyy, yoy, yoy, yoyyyyyy!
SEYMOUR
Gee...
MUSHNIK
So?
SEYMOUR
Well…
MUSNIK
Well?
SEYMOUR
I…
MUSHNIK
You?
Go ahead and say it, Seymour, tell me that you will
SEYMOUR
Gee, I’d really like to, but—
MUSHNIK
I’ll hold my breath until!
SEYMOUR
Okay, you win, I’ll be your son!
MUSHNIK
Hooray, I win, he’ll be my son!
SEYMOUR
Draw up the papers, Dad, I’m touched, I really am!
And when you reach age eighty-three
I’ll let you come move in with me
MUSHNIK
You swear?
SEYMOUR
I promise!
MUSNINK
What a son!
BOTH
In trouble, sickness, and in health,
We’ll share the plant, and share the wealth
MUSHNIK
I’ll call my lawyer
SEYMOUR
Call me son!
MUSHNIK
Son!
SEYMOUR
Son!
BOTH
Mushnik and son! That’s that
SEYMOUR
Officially I’m your brat
BOTH
Consider the matter closed and done!
Now to the world let’s stick
Our senior and junior schtick
Through thin and through thick!
Through sloppy and slick!
SEYMOUR
So come kiss me quick!
MUSHNIK
Please, don’t make me sick
BOTH
Mushnik and son!
OY!
Little Shop of Horrors - Skid Row (Downtown)
CRYSTAL
Alarm goes off at seven
And you start uptown
You put in your eight hours
For the powers that have always been
Till it's five P.M.
BUM
Then you go
COMPANY
Downtown
Where the folks are broke
Downtown
Where your life's a joke
Downtown
When you buy your token, you go
Home to skid row
BUM
Yes, you go
COMPANY
Downtown
Where the cabs don't stop
Downtown
Where the food is slop
Downtown
Where the hop-heads flop
in the snow
Down on Skid Row
Uptown you cater to a million jerks
Uptown you're messengers and mailroom clerks
Eating all your lunches at the hot dog carts
The bosses take your money
And they break your hearts
Uptown you cater to a million smurf
You disinfect terrazzo on their
bathroom floors
Your morning's tribulation
afternoon's a curse
And five o'clock is even worse
BUM
That's when you go
COMPANY
Downtown
AUDREY
Where the guys are drips
Downtown
Where they rip your slips
Downtown
Where relationships are no go
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row!
SEYMOUR
Poor! All my life I've always been poor
I keep asking God what I'm for
and he tells me "Gee, I'm not sure
sweep that floor, kid."
Oh, I started life as an orphan
a child of the street
Here on skid row
He took me in, gave me shelter, a bed
Crust of bread and a job
Treats me like dirt, calls me a slob
Which I am
So I live
COMPANY
Downtown
SEYMOUR
That's your home address
Ya live
COMPANY
Downtown
SEYMOUR
When your life's a mess
Ya live
COMPANY
Downtown
SEYMOUR
Where depression's just status quo
COMPANY
Down on skid row
SEYMOUR
Someone show me a way to get outta here
'cause I constantly pray I'll get outta here
Please, won't somebody say I'll get outta here
Someone gimme my shot or I'll rot here
Show me how and I will, I'll get outta here
I'll start climbing uphill and get outta here
Someone tell me I still could get outta here
Someone tell lady luck that I'm stuck here
SEYMOUR & AUDREY
Gee it sure would be swell to get outta here
Bid the gutter farewell and get outta here
I'd move heaven and hll to get outta skid...
I'll do I dunno what to get outta skid...
But a hell of a lot to get outta skid...
People tell me there's not a way outta skid...
But believe me I gotta get outta skid...
ALL
Row!
Little Shop of Horrors - Dentist!
ORIN
When I was younger, just a bad little kid
My mama noticed funny things I did
Like shooting puppies with a B.B. gun
I'd poison guppies and when I was done
I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head
That's when my mama said
CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON
What did she say?
ORIN
She said, My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay
You'll be a dentist
You have a talent for causing things pain
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success
CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON
Here he is, girls, the leader of the plaque!
Watch him suck up that gas!
Oh, my god!
He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good
Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis de Sade?
Oh that hurts!
I'm not numb!
ORIN
Ah, shut up, open wide, here I come!
I am your dentist
CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON
Goodness gracious!
ORIN
And I enjoy the career that I picked
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII am your dentist
CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON
Fitting braces
ORIN
And I get off on the pain I inflict
CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON
You really love it
ORIN
When I start extracting those molars
You girls will be screaming like holy rollers
CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON
Dentist!
ORIN
And though it may cause my patients distress
Somewhere in heaven above me
I know that my mama's proud of me
'Cause I'm a dentist, and a success
Say ah!
CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON
Ahhh...
ORIN
Say ah!
CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON
Ahhhhh...
ORIN
Say ah!!!
CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON
Ahhhhhhhhhh...
ORIN
Now spit!
