Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sudden changes surround me
Lady luck came and found me
Thanks a million for making the magic you do
[Verse 2]
Thanks to you, sweet Petunia
Mushnik's taken a junior
And someday when I own this whole shop
I'll remember I owe it to you
[Verse 3]
Ah, Tuey
Who cares if I've been a little on the anemic side these past few weeks?
So what if I've had a few dizzy spells
A little light headedness
It's been worth it, old pal
Look, I'm gonna run down to Schmendrick's and get something to eat
I'll see you later
[Verse 4]
Oh boy
Here we go again
Tuey, I haven't got much left, look, just let me heal a few more days, okay
Then we'll start on the left hand again
Feed me
I beg your pardon
Feed me
Tuey, you talked you opened up your trap, your thing, and you said
Feed me Krelborn, feed me now
I can't
I'm starving
Oh boy
Look maybe I can squeeze a little out of this one but
I need some food
More, more
But there isn't any more
What do you want me to do slit my wrists?
Look, how about I run down to the corner and pick up some nice chop sirloin
Must be blood
Tuey, that's disgusting
Must be fresh
I don't wanna hear this
[Verse 5]
Feed me
Does it have to be human?
Feed me
Does it have to be mine?
Feed me
Where am I suppose to get it?
[Verse 6]
Feed me, Seymour
Feed me all night long
That's right, boy
You can do it
Feed me, Seymour
Feed me all night long
'Cause if you feed me, Seymour
I can grow up big and strong
[Verse 7]
You eat blood, Audrey II, let's face it
How am I suppose to keep on feeding you, kill people?
I'll make it worth your while
What?
You think this is all a coincidence, baby
The sudden success around here
Your adoption papers
Look you're a plant, an inanimate object
Does this look inanimate to you, punk?
If I can talk and I can move
Who's to say I can't do anything I want?
Like what
Like deliver ,pal
Like see you get everything your sickly, greasy heart desires
[Verse 8]
Would you like a Cadillac car?
Or a guest shot on Jack Paar?
How about a date with Hedy Lamarr?
You gonna get it (Well, well, well, well)
[Verse 9]
How'd you like to be a big wheel?
Dinin' out for every meal
I'm the plant that can make it all real, you're gonna get it
(You're gonna get it)
[Verse 10]
I'm your genie, I'm your friend
I'm your willing slave
Take a chance, just feed me and
You know the kinda eats, the kinda red hot treats
The kinda sticky, licky sweets I crave
[Verse 11]
Come on Seymour, don't be a putz
Trust me and your life will surely rival King Tut's
Show a little 'nitiative, work up the guts
And you'll get it
[Verse 12]
I don't know
I don't know
I have so, so many strong reservations
Should I go
And perform mutilations?
[Verse 13]
You didn't have nothing till you met me
Come on, kid, what'll it be?
Money, girls, one particular girl
How about that Audrey
Think it over
There must be someone you could 86
Real quiet like
And get me some lunch
[Verse 14]
How'd you like a room at the Ritz?
Wrapped in velvet, covered in glitz
A little nookie gonna clean up your zits and you'll get it
(Get it, get it)
(Get it, get it, get it, get it)
(Get it, get it, get it, get it)
[Verse 15]
Gee, I'd like a Harley machine
Toolin' around like I was James Dean
Making all the guys on the corner turn green
[Verse 16]
Soon you'll get it, oh
If you wanna be profound
You really gotta justify
Take a breath and look around
A lot of folks deserve to die
(A lot of folks deserve to die)
[Verse 17]
Wait a minute, wait a minute
That's not a very nice thing to say
But it's true isn't it?
No, I don't know anyone who deserves to be chopped up
And fed to a hungry plant
Hmm, sure you do
Stupid woman
Christ, what a freaking scatter brain
I'm sorry doctor, I'm sorry doctor
Now get the hell in there and pick up your goddamn sweater
You dizzy cow
Yes doctor, right away doctor
Hi Seymour, I left my sweater here before
Come on, move it, you little slut
How do you like that stupid dame?
Forgets her freaking sweater
Christ, if your stupid head weren't screwed on
Orin, that hurt
Move it
[Verse 18]
If you want a rationale
It isn't very hard to see
Stop and think it over pal
The guy sure looks like plant food to me
The guy sure looks like plant food to me
The guy sure looks like plant food to me
[Verse 19]
He's so nasty, treating her rough
Smackin' her around and always talking so tough
You need blood, he's got more than enough
I need blood and he's got more than enough
You need blood, he's got more than enough
(I need blood and he's got more than enough)
So go get it
