The Meek Shall Inherit
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
by and by.
