[00:00:19] So get the plant ready

[00:00:20] And wear a clean shirt

[00:00:21] Just sign this release

[00:00:22] Need a pen Aren't you thrilled

[00:00:24] It's the cover of Life magazine

[00:00:25] Dessert

[00:00:26] I'm telling you son

[00:00:27] It's a cinch to get ratings

[00:00:28] The title is Marvin's

[00:00:30] The concept is mine

[00:00:31] The first weekly gardening

[00:00:32] Show on a network

[00:00:34] And you're gonna host it

[00:00:35] You lucky kid sign

[00:00:36] They say the meek shall inherit

[00:00:38] You know the book doesn't lie

[00:00:41] It's not a question of merit

[00:00:43] It's not demand and supply

[00:00:46] They say the meek gonna get it

[00:00:48] And you're a meek little guy

[00:00:50] You know the meek are gonna get

[00:00:53] What's comin' to 'em by and by

[00:00:56] My future's starting

[00:00:59] I've got to let it

[00:01:01] Stick with that plant and gee

[00:01:03] My bank account will thrive

[00:01:05] What am I saying No way

[00:01:09] Forget it

[00:01:10] It's much too dangerous

[00:01:13] To keep that plant alive

[00:01:16] I take these offers

[00:01:18] That means more killing

[00:01:20] Who knew success would come with messy

[00:01:23] Nasty strings

[00:01:25] I sign these contracts

[00:01:27] That means I'm willing

[00:01:29] To keep on doing bloody

[00:01:31] Awful evil things

[00:01:34] No No There's only so far you can bend

[00:01:38] No No This nightmare must come to an end

[00:01:43] No No You've got no alternative

[00:01:46] Seymour old boy

[00:01:47] Though it means you'll be

[00:01:48] Broke again and unemployed

[00:01:49] It's the only solution

[00:01:50] It can't be avoided

[00:01:51] The vegetable must be destroyed

[00:01:59] But then there's Audrey

[00:02:06] Lovely Audrey

[00:02:13] If life were tawdry

[00:02:15] And impov'rished as before

[00:02:18] She might not like me

[00:02:20] She might not want me

[00:02:28] Without my plant

[00:02:30] She might not love me anymore

[00:02:42] They say the meek shall inherit

[00:02:45] Where do I sign

[00:02:46] You know the book doesn't lie

[00:02:47] Right on the line

[00:02:48] It's not a question of merit

[00:02:51] That'll do fine

[00:02:52] It's not demand and supply

[00:02:54] This copy's mine

[00:02:55] You'll make a fortune we swear it

[00:02:57] If on this fact you rely

[00:02:59] Bye bye So long

[00:03:00] You know the meek are gonna

[00:03:01] Get what's comin' to 'em

[00:03:05] You know the meek are gonna

[00:03:06] Get what's comin' to 'em

[00:03:09] You know the meek are gonna
