Ya Never Know - The Theatreland Chorus

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?
