[Am] Seymour Krelborn, sweetie honey baby pussy cat.
[F] Hey Seymour Krelborn, you prince, you?
My name is Bernstein, [G] I'm with NBC.
I came down here to convince you
[F] to do a weekly [E] TV [Am] show for me.
[C] Seymour Krelborn's [A#] Gardening Tips
[A] for half [E] an hour on Sundays [Am] at four.
[C]
TV's first home [A#] gardening program.
[A] You'll make a [E] mint and our ratings will soar.
[C] They say the meat [F] shall inherit.
You [C] know the poop doesn't lie.
It's not a question [F] of merit.
[G] It's not your [C] value that's the flaw.
They say the meat [F] won't get it.
And you're a [Am] meat little guy.
[Dm] You'll never make a [G] [F] guy.
Seymour Krelborn, pleased to meet you kid.
Skip snip, will you Morris Agency?
Forgot the cable we sent you?
It's nice to meet me.
The pleasure [G] is yours.
Now let my firm represent you.
[F] We want to book you on lecturing [Am] tours.

[A] The kind of bookings my [Am] office can do.
[Bm] [C] Show the plant then [A#] talk, answer questions.

My [Am] future's starting.
I've got to let it.
Stick with that plant and gee my bank [F] account will thrive.
What am I saying?
No way [E] forget it.
It's much too [B] dangerous to keep the [E] plant alive.
I take [Am] these offers.
[E] That means [Am] more killing.
Who knew success would come with messy [F] nasty strings.
I sign these contracts.
That means I'm willing.
To [B] keep on doing bloody awful evil things.
[Am] No, no.
There's only so [C] far you can send.
No, no.
This [F] nightmare must come to an [C] end.
[E] No, no.
You've got no [Am] alternative Seymour old boy.
That would mean you'll be broke again and unemployed.
It's the only solution and can't be avoided.
The [E] vegetable must be [A] destroyed.
[Am] [D] But then
[E] there's [A] [A] Audrey.
[F#] Lovely [F#m] Audrey.
[Em] If life were [D] tawdry and impoverished [C#m] as before.
[F#] She might not like [C#] me.
She might not want me.
Without [A] my plant.
[E] She might not love me [A] anymore.
[D] [E] [D]
[A] They say the meek shall [D] inherit.
Where do [E] I sign?
You know the book [A] doesn't lie.
It's not a question of [D] merit.
It's not a man [A] that's a fly.
You'll make a fortune, we [D] swear it.
[F] If on this fact you [A] rely.
[Bm] You [C#m] [D]
know the meek are gonna get [A] [D#] what's coming [E] to them.
[F#m] [N]
