| I can’t believe it, it couldn’t be happening
|
| Pinch me, girls, it couldn’t be happening
|
| All of this sudden success comin' out of the blue
|
| I put a sign up, right in the front window
|
| An advertisement, right in the front window
|
| «Stop in and see the amazing new plant Audrey II!»
|
| And the really remarkable thing is that people, they do
|
| Seymour, that twerp of a klutz
|
| Fin’lly did something right. |
| Audrey II drives 'em nuts
|
| What a blessing this wonderful plant should exist
|
| And should rake in the bucks for me hand over fist!
|
| How’d I do?
|
| You was great on the radio, Seymour!
|
| You sounded sexier than the Wolfman!
|
| You’re an overnight sensation, Seymour!
|
| Who-oo'da believed it?
|
| (sung)
|
| One day he pushed a broom
|
| Nothing in his news but gloom and doom
|
| Then he lit a fuse and give him room
|
| Stand aside and watch that
|
| Motha blow
|
| Explosion! |
| Bang! |
| Kerboom!
|
| Don’t it go to show ya never know?
|
| Seymour was in a funk
|
| He was number zero
|
| Who’d’a thunk he’d become a hero?
|
| Just a punk, he was a forgotten
|
| So-and-so
|
| Then one day:
|
| Crash! |
| Kerplunk!
|
| «Don't it go to show ya never know»
|
| «Sit down, Seymour. |
| Ronette’s gon' sing for you»
|
| All the world used to screw him
|
| Biff-wham-pow! |
| Now they interview him
|
| And they clamor to put his remarks
|
| On the air
|
| All the world used to hate him
|
| Now they’re startin' t’appreciate him
|
| All because of that strange little plant
|
| Over there
|
| Observe him! |
| Here’s a chap
|
| Everything is landing in his lap
|
| I just cut my hand and in a snap
|
| Something out of Edgar Allen Poe has happened
|
| Zam! |
| Kazap!
|
| Don’t it go to show ya never know?
|
| One day you’re slinging hash
|
| Feeling so rejected
|
| Lightning flash, you get resurrected
|
| Make a splash- now you rate the big
|
| Bravissimo
|
| And with a thunder crash —
|
| Crash kerplunk, bam kerboom
|
| Zang kazunk, zam kazoom
|
| Zowee powee holy cow he
|
| Ordered up a rainbow to go
|
| Wow! |
| Pow! |
| Look out below!
|
| Don’t it go to show ya never know? |
