Hammill Peter - Hesitation lyrics

[Mushnik]

I can't believe it

It couldn't be happening.

Pinch me, girls

It couldn't be happening

All of this sudden success

coming outa the blue!

[Girls]

D'doo doo doo

Doo d'doo doo doo

[Mushnik]

I put a sign up

Right in the front window

An advertisement

Right in teh front window-

"Stop in and see the amazing new plant,

Audrey Two"

[Girls]

T'two two two

Doo d'doo doo doo

[Mushnik]

And the really remarkable thing

is that people, they do!

[Girls]

D'doo doo doo

Doop, they sure doo doo

doo-

[Mushnik]

Seymour that twerp of a klutz

Finally did something right

Audrey two drives 'em nuts

What a blessing this wonderful plant should exist

And should rake in the bucks for me hand over fist!

((Next segment is spoken))

[Seymour]

Well, how'd I do?

[Chiffon]

You was great, Seymour!

[Crystal]

You sounded sexier than the Wolfman!

[Mushnik]

But you didn't mention the address of the shop. How many times

have I told you...

[Seymour]

I'm sorry. I was nervous. Where's Audrey? She said she'd be here.

[Mushnik]

Forget about Audrey. I've got three more radio interviews lined up

for tomorrow and the Skid Row Herald Examiner wants a picture!

[Seymour]

If I had a mother, she'd be so happy.

[Ronnette]

You're an overnight sensation, Seymour. Who'da believed it?

((Back to singing))

[Ronnette]

One day he

pushed a broom

Nothin' in his news but

gloom and doom

Then he lit a fuse and-

Give him room-

Stand aside and watch that Mothah blow!

Explosion!

Bang! Kerboom!

Don't it go to show ya never know?

[Girls]

Seymour was

In a funk

He was number zero

Who'da thunk

He'd become a hero?

Just a punk

He was a forgotten so and so

Then one day

[Seymour]

Crash! Kerplunk!

[Girls]

Don't it go to show ya never know?

[Chiffon](this line is spoken)

Sit down, Seymour. Chiffon gonna sing for ya.

[Ronnette]

All the world used to screw him

Biff wham pow, Now the interview him

And they clamor to put his remarks on the air!

All the world used to hate him

Now they're starting to 'preciate him

All becuase of that strange little plant over there

[Girls]

Observe him!

Here's a chap

Everything is landin'

In his lap!

[Seymour]

I just cut my hand and

In a snap!

Something out of Edgar Allen Poe

has happened!

[Girls]

Zam Kazap!

Don't it go to show ya never know?

One day you're

slingin' hash

Feelin' so rejected

Lightning flash!

You get resurrected!

Make a splash!

Now you rate the big bravissimo!

And with a thundercrash!

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?
