| I can’t believe it, it couldn’t be happening
 | 
| Pinch me, girls, it couldn’t be happening
 | 
| All of this sudden success comin' out of the blue
 | 
| 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 II!»
 | 
| And the really remarkable thing is that people, they do
 | 
| Seymour, that twerp of a klutz
 | 
| Fin’lly did something right. | 
| Audrey II drives 'em nuts
 | 
| What a blessing this wonderful plant should exist
 | 
| And should rake in the bucks for me hand over fist!
 | 
| How’d I do?
 | 
| You was great on the radio, Seymour!
 | 
| You sounded sexier than the Wolfman!
 | 
| You’re an overnight sensation, Seymour!
 | 
| Who-oo'da believed it?
 | 
| (sung)
 | 
| 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’d’a 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. | 
| Ronette’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' t’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 Allen 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
 | 
| Zowee powee holy cow he
 | 
| Ordered up a rainbow to go
 | 
| Wow! | 
| Pow! | 
| Look out below!
 | 
| Don’t it go to show ya never know? |
