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
(fine)
It's not demand and supply
(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
