Little Shop of Horrors Movie Soundtrack Lyrics






Prologue / Little Shop Of Horrors
by Bill Mitchell


On the twenty-third day of the month of September
In an early year of a decade not too long before our own,
The human race suddenly encountered a deadly
Threat to its very existence.
And this terrifying enemy surfaced,
As such enemies often do,
In the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places.

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Little shop, little shoppa horrors.
Little shop, little shoppa terror.
Call a cop. Little shoppa horrors.
No, oh, oh, no-oh!

Little shop, little shoppa horrors.
Bop sh'bop, little shoppa terror.
Watch 'em drop! Little shoppa horrors.
No, oh, oh, no-oh!

Shing-a-ling, what a creepy thing
To be happening!
Shang-a-lang, feel the sturm
And drang in the air.

Sha-la-la, stop right where you are.
Don't you move a thing.
You better (tellin' you, you better)
Tell your mama somethin's gonna
Get her
She better (ev'rybody better)
Beware!

Little shop, little shoppa horrors.
Bop sh-bop, you'll never stop
The terror.
Little shop, little shoppa horrors.
No, oh, oh, no, oh, oh, no, oh, oh, no!

Skid Row (Downtown)
by Michelle Weeks


[WOMAN]
Alarm goes off at seven
And you start uptown.
You put in your eight hours
For the powers that have always been.
Till it's five P.M.

[BUM 1]
Then You go

[COMPANY]
Downtown
Where the folks are broke.
Downtown
Where your life's a joke.
Downtown
When you buy your token,
You go
Home to skid row.

[BUM 2]
Yes, you go

[COMPANY]
Downtown
Where the cabs don't stop
Downtown
Where the food is slop
Downtown
Where the hop-heads flop
In the snow
Down on Skid Row

Uptown you cater to a million jerks.
Uptown you're messengers and
Mailroom clerks
Eating all your lunches at the
Hot dog carts.
The bosses take your money
And they break your hearts.

Uptown you cater to a million whores.
You disinfect terrazzo on their
Bathroom floors.
Your morning's tribulation,
Afternoon's a curse
And five o'clock is even worse

[BUM 3]
That's when you go

[COMPANY]
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row!

[AUDREY]
Where the guys are drips.
Where they rip your slips.
Where relationships are no go.
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row!

[SEYMOUR]
Poor! All my life I've always been poor.
I keep asking God what I'm for,
And he tells me "Gee, I'm not sure
Sweep that floor, kid."
Oh, I started life as an orphan,
A child of the street
Here on skid row.
He took me in, gave me shelter, a bed,
Crust of bread and a job
Treats me like dirt, calls me a slob,
Which I am.
So I live
[COMPANY]
Downtown
[SEYMOUR]
That's your home address.
Ya live
[COMPANY]
Downtown
[SEYMOUR]
When your life's a mess.
Ya live
[COMPANY]
Downtown
[SEYMOUR]
Where depressions' jes'
Status Quo.
[COMPANY]
Down on skid row

Someone show me a way to get
Outa here,
'cause I constantly pray I'll get
Outa here
Please, won't somebody say I'll get
Outa here
Someone gimme my shot or I'll
Rot here.

[COMPANY]
Downtown
[SEYMOUR & AUDREY]
There's no rules for us.
[COMPANY]
Downtown
[SEYMOUR & AUDREY]
'Cause it's dangerous.

Da-Doo
by Rick Moranis


[SEYMOUR]
Da-doo,
I was walkin' in the wholesale flower district that day
Shoop da-doo,
And I passed by this place where this old Chinese man
Chang da-doo
He sometimes sells me weird and exotic cuttings,
Snip da-doo,
'cause he knows, you see, that strange plants are my hobby.
Da da da da da da-doo.

He didn't have anything unusual there that day.

Nope, da-doo,
So I was just about to, ya know, walk on by,
Good for you,
When suddenly,
Da doo
And without warning, there was this total eclipse of the sun.

It got very dark and there was this strange
Sound like something from another world.
Da-doo,
And when the light came back this weird plant was just sitting there,

Whoop-see-doo
Just, you know, stuck in, among the zinnias.
Audrey Two.
I coulda sworn it hadn't been there before,
But the old Chinese man sold it to me anyways,
For a dollar ninety-five.
Sha la la, la la la, la la la loo.

Grow For Me
by Rick Moranis


[SEYMOUR]
I've given you sunshine
I've given you dirt.
You've given me nothing
But heartache and hurt.
I'm beggin' you sweetly.
I'm down on my knees.
Oh, please-grow for me!

I've given you plant food
And water to sip.
I've given you potash.
You've given me zip.
Oh God, how I mist you
Oh pod, how you tease
Now, please-grow for me!

I've given you southern exposure
To get you to thrive.
I've pinched you back hard,
Like I'm s'posed ta.
You're barely alive.
I've tried you at levels of moisture
From desert to mud.
I've given you grow-lights
And mineral supplements.
What do you want from me- Blood?

I've given you sunlight.
I've given you rain.
Looks like you're not happy,
'Less I open a vein.
I'll give you a few drops
If that'll appease.
Now please-oh please-grow for me!

Somewhere That's Green
by Ellen Greene

I know Seymour's the greatest
But I'm dating a semi-sadist
So I've got a black eye
And my arm's in a cast.

Still, that Seymour's a cutie
Well, if not, he's got inner beauty
And I dream of a place
Where we could be together at last

A matchbox of our own
A fence of real chain link,
A grill out on the patio
Disposal in the sink

A washer and a dryer and an ironing machine
In a tract house that we share
Somewhere that's green.

He rakes and trims the grass
He loves to mow and weed
I cook like Betty Crocker
And I look like Donna Reed

There's plastic on the furniture
To keep it neat and clean
In the Pine-Sol scented air
Somewhere that's green

Between our frozen dinner
And our bedtime, nine-fifteen
We snuggle watchin' Lucy
On our big, enormous twelve-inch screen

I'm his December Bride
He's Father, he Knows Best
Our kids play Howdy Doody
As the sun sets in the west
A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine

Far from Skid Row
I dream we'll go
Somewhere that's green.

Some Fun Now
by Michelle Weeks


CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Yah yah yah yah, yah yah yah.
Yah yah yah yah, yah yah yah.

Poor Seymour pushed a broom, nothing in his news but
Gloom and doom
Then he lit a fuse
And give him room
He started an explosion,
Holy cow,
That thing went bang ka-boom
And he's havin' some fun now

Some fun now
Ahat with?
What's he havin' some fun now
Sure is
He's a-havin' some fun now
Oh boy
Ain't he havin' some fun now

Hot damn

Yes, ma'am
He's a-havin' some fun now
Oh boy

Some fun now
Hot damn
Ain't he havin' some fun now
Yes, ma'am
He's a-havin' some fun now
Oh boy
Ain't he havin' some fun now, now!

Some fun now
What with?
Ain't he havin' some fun now
Sure is
Really havin' some fun now
Oh boy
Ain't he havin' some fun now, now!

Some fun now
Good God, good God
He's havin' some fun now.
Oh boy, oh boy
Yes, he's havin' some fun now
Oh boy
Ain't he havin' some fun now!

Some fun now. Some fun now.
Some fun now. Some fun now.

Dentist!
by Steve Martin


[ORIN]
When I was younger, just a bad little kid,
My mama noticed funny things I did,
Like shootin' puppies with a B B gun
I'd poison guppies, and when I was done
I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head
That's when my mama said

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
What did she say?

[ORIN]
She said, "My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way
To make your natural tendencies pay
You'll be a dentist
You have a talent for causin' things pain
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Here he is, folks the leader of the plaque!
Watch him suck up that gas!
Oh, my god!
He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good
Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis de Sade?

[PATIENT]
Oh that hurts! I'm not numb!

[ORIN]
Oh, shut up. Open wide. here I come!
I am your dentist

[PATIENT]
Goodness gracious!

[ORIN]
And I enjoy the career that I picked

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Really love it

[ORIN]
I am your dentist

[PATIENT]
Fitting braces

[ORIN]
And I get off on the pain I inflict

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Really love it

[ORIN]
I thrill when I drill a bicuspid

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Bicuspid

[ORIN]
It's swell though they tell me I'm maladjusted
And though it may cause my patients distress,
Somewhere, somewhere in heaven above me
I know, I know, that my mama's proud of me
Oh, mama
'Cause I'm a dentist and a success
Say ah!

[PATIENT]
Ah!

[ORIN]
Say ah!

[PATIENT]
Ah!

[ORIN]
Say ah!

[PATIENT]
Ah!

Feed Me (Git It)
by Levi Stubbs


[AUDREY II]
Feed me. Feed me. Feed me.
Feed me, Seymour
Feed me all night long
That's right, boy!
You can do it
Feed me, Seymour
Feed me all night long
Ha, ha, ha, ha ha
'Cause if you feed me, Seymour,
I can grow up big and strong

Would you like a Cadillac car?
Or a guest shot on Jack Paar?
How about a date with Hedy Lamarr?
You gonna git it.
If you want it, baby

How would you like to be a big wheel,
Dinin' out for every meal?
I'm the plant to make it all real
You gonna git it

Hey, I'm your genie, I'm your friend
I'm your willing slave
Take a chance just feed me, and
You know what kinda eats,
What kinda red hot treats,
What kinda sticky licky sweets I crave

Come on, Seymour, don't be a putz
Trust me and your life will surely rival King Tut's
Show a little initiative, boy
Work up some guts
And you'll git it

[SEYMOUR]
I don't know
I don't know
I have so, so many strong reservations
Should I go and perform mutilations?

[AUDREY II]
Think about a room at the Ritz,
Wrapped in velvet, covered in glitz
A little nookie gonna clean up those zits
And you'll git it

[SEYMOUR]
Gee, I'd like a Harley machine
Toolin' around like I was James Dean,
Makin' all the guys on the corner turn green

[AUDREY II]
So go git it
If you want to be profound,
If you really got to justify,
Take a breath and look around
A lot of folks deserve to die

[ORIN (Spoken)]
Stupid woman. Christ, what a friggin' scatterbrain.
Falls off the motorcycle

[AUDREY (Spoken)]
I'm sorry, doctor

[AUDREY II, SEYMOUR]
If you want a rationale,
It isn't very hard to see, no, no, no
Stop and think it over, pal
The guy sure looks like plant foot to me
The guy sure looks like plant food to me
The guy sure looks like plant food to me

[SEYMOUR]
He's so nasty, treatin' her rough,

[AUDREY II]
Smackin' her around and always talkin' so tough

[SEYMOUR]
You need blood and he's got more than enough

[AUDREY II]
I need blood and he's got more than enough

[BOTH]
I/You need blood and he's got more than enough

[AUDREY II]
So go git it!

Suddenly, Seymour
by Rick Moranis


Lift up your head
Wash off your mascara
Here, take my Kleenex
Wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face, clean as the mornin'
I know things were bad, but now they're okay

Suddenly Seymour is standin' beside you
You don't need no makeup, don't have to pretend
Suddenly Seymour is here to provide you
Sweet understanding
Seymour's your friend

[AUDREY]
Nobody ever treated me kindly
Daddy left early
Mama was poor
I'd meet a man and I'd follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers
Me, I'd say "sure."

Suddenly Seymour is standin' beside me
He don't give me orders
He don't condescend
Suddenly Seymour is here to provide me
Sweet understanding
Seymour's my friend

[SEYMOUR]
Tell me this feelin'll last till forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away

[AUDREY]
Please understand that it's still strange and fright'nin'
For losers like I've been it's so hard to say

[AUDREY]
Suddenly Seymour,
He purified me
Suddenly Seymour
He showed me I can
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me
With sweet understanding,
With sweet understanding,
With sweet understanding,
Seymour's my man!

[SEYMOUR]
Suddenly Seymour,
He purified you
Suddenly Seymour
Yes, you can
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside you
With sweet understanding,
With sweet understanding,
With sweet understanding,
Seymour's your man!

Suppertime

He's got your number now.
He knows just what you've done.
You've got no place to hide.
You've got nowhere to run.
He knows your life of crime.
I think it's suppertime!

Come on, Come on
Think about all those offers!
Come on, Come on
Your future with Audrey!
Come on, Come on
Ain't no time to turn squeemish!
C-C-C-Come on!
I swear on all my spores
When he's gone the world will be yours.

Come on, Come on...
Come on, Come on...
Come on, Come on...

The Meek Shall Inherit
by Rick Moranis


[AGENT 1]
Seymour Krelbourn, so finally we meet you
This is an occasion. Let's toast it. Up yours
Relax. Canape? ?? Let's talk turkey. Sign here
And we'll book you on lecturing tours

[AGENT 2]
Be a star. And we're sending photographers Thursday
So get the plant ready and wear a clean shirt
Just sign this release. Need a pen? Aren't you thrilled?
It's the cover of Life magazine. Dessert?

[AGENT 3]
I'm telling you son, it's a cinch to get ratings
The title is Marvin's. The concept is mine
The first weekly gardening show on a network
And you're gonna host it, you lucky kid, sign

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
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're a meek little guy
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em by and by

[SEYMOUR]
My 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 that 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

But then there's Audrey, lovely Audrey.
If life were tawdry and impov'rished as before,
She might not like me, she might not want me
Without my plant, she might not love me anymore

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
They say the meek shall inherit
[SEYMOUR]
Where do I sign?
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
You know the book doesn't lie
[SEYMOUR]
Right on the line?
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
It's not a question of merit
[SEYMOUR]
That'll do fine.
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
It's not demand and supply
[SEYMOUR]
This copy's mine?
[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
You'll make a fortune, we swear it,

If on this fact you rely
Bye bye. So long.
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em,
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em,
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em
By and by.

Mean Green Mother From Outerspace

[AUDREY II]
Better wait a minute
Ya better hold the phone
Better mind your manners
Better change your tone
Don't you threaten me, son
Ya gotta lot of gall
We gonna do things my way
Or we won't do things at all

Ya don't know what you're messin' with.
You got no idea
You don't know what you're lookin' at
When you're lookin' here
Ya don't know what you're up against,
No, no way, no how
You don't know what you're messin' with,
But I'm gonna tell you now!

Get this straight!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And it looks like you been had
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
So get off my back 'n get out my face,
'Cause I'm mean and green and I am bad

Wanna save your skin, boy?
You wanna save your hide?
You wanna see tomorrow?
You better step aside
Better take a tip, boy
Want some good advice?
You better take it easy,
'Cause you're walkin' on thin ice

Ya don't know what you're dealin' with
No, you never did
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at,
But that's tough titty, kid!
The lion don't sleep tonight,
And if you pull his tail, he roars
Ya say, "That ain't fair?" Ya say, "That ain't nice?"
Ya know what I say?
"Up yours!"

Watch me now!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad.
I'm just a mean green mother, a real disgrace,
And you've got me fightin' mad
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
Gonna trash your ass,
Gonna rock this place,
'Cause I'm mean and green and I am bad

Don't you talk to me about old King Kong
You think he's the worst, well, you're thinkin' wrong
Don't talk to me about Frankenstein
He got a temper, ha! He ain't got mine

You know I don't come from no black lagoon
I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon
You can keep The Thing, keep The It,
Keep The Creature, they don't mean shit

I got one style, major moves
I got the stuff and I think that proves
You better move it out
Nature calls
You got the point?
I'm gonna bust your balls

Here it comes!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother, a real hard case
You can't beat this trouble, man
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
So just beam him up
It's all over, ace
I'm mean and green

They may offer you fortune and fame
Love and money and instant acclaim

Something's coming to eat the world whole
If we fight it we've still got a chance

Though they're slopping the trough for you
Please, whatever they offer you
Don't feed the plants!
Don't feed the plants!

Little Shop of Horrors is a 1986 American horror comedy musical film directed by Frank Oz. It is an adaptation of the 1982 off-Broadway musical of the same name by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman, which is itself an adaptation of the 1960 film The Little Shop of Horrors by director Roger Corman.

The film, which centers on a floral shop worker who discovers a sentient carnivorous plant that feeds on human blood, stars Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, and the voice of Levi Stubbs. The film also features special appearances by Jim Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Guest, and Bill Murray. It was produced by David Geffen through The Geffen Company and released by Warner Bros. on December 19, 1986. It grossed $39 million domestically and $15 million internationally for a worldwide total of $54 million.

Little Shop of Horrors was filmed on the Albert R. Broccoli 007 Stage at the Pinewood Studios in England, where a "downtown" set, complete with overhead train track, was constructed. Produced on a budget of $25 million, in contrast to the original 1960 film, which, according to Corman, only cost $30,000, it was well received by critics and audiences alike, eventually developing a cult following.
