"Ya Never Know" 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 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

[SEYMOUR:]
How'd I do?

[CHIFFON:]
You was great on the radio, Seymour

[CRYSTAL:]
You sounded sexier than the Wolfman

[RONETTE:]
You're an overnight sensation, Seymour
Who-oo'da believed it?

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?

[GIRLS:]
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

[SEYMOUR:]
Crash, kerplunk

[CRYSTAL, CHIFFON:]
Don't it go to show ya never know

[RONETTE:]
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

[GIRLS:]
Observe him, here's a chap
Everything is landing in his lap

[SEYMOUR:]
I just cut my hand and in a snap
Something out of Edgar Allen Poe has happened

[GIRLS:]
Zam, kazap

[ALL FOUR:]
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

[GIRLS:]
Crash kerplunk, bam kerboom
Zang kazunk, zam kazoom
Zowee powee holy cow he
Ordered up a rainbow to go

[ALL FOUR:]
Wow, pow, look out below
Don't it go to show ya never know?
