Ya Never Know

I can't believe it, it couldn't be happening

Pinch me girls, it couldn't be happening

All of this sudden success coming out of the blue

(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo)

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 Two!"

(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo)

And the really remarkable thing is that people, they do

(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo, they sure do)

Seymour that twerp of a klutz finally did something right

Audrey Two drives 'em nuts, what a blessing this wonderful plant should exist

And should rake in the bucks for me hand over fist

Well, how'd I do?

Oh, you was great, Seymour

You sounded sexier than the Wolfman

But you didn't mention the address of the shop! How many times have I told you?

I'm sorry, I was nervous

Where's Audrey? She said she'd be here

Forget about Audrey, I've got three more radio interviews lined up for tomorrow

And the Skid Row Herald Examiner wants a picture!

If I had a mother, she'd be so happy

You're an overnight sensation, Seymour!

Who'da believed it?

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'da 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, Chiffon'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' to 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 Allan 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

Zowie-powie, holy cow, he ordered up a rainbow to go

Wow, pow, look out below

Don't it go to show ya never know?
