The Meek Shall Inherit - West End Stars

Hey Seymour Krelborn you prince you

My name is Bernstein I'm with N B C

I came down here to convince you

To do a weekly T V show for me

Seymour Krelborn's Gardening Tips

For half and hour on Saturday's at four

T V 's first home-gardeing program

You'll make a mint and our ratings will soar

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 a meek little guy

You know the meek are gonna get

What's comin' to 'em by and by

Forget the cable we sent you

It's nice to meet you the pleasure is yours

Now let my firm represent you

We want to book you on lecturing tours

College campus Rotary Club

The kind of bookings my office can do

Show the plant then talk answer questions

It's educational lucrative too

Mys 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 the 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
