But I'm gonna tell you now

Get this straight

I'm just a mean green mother

From outer space and I'm bad

Mean, green, bad

I'm just a mean green mother

From outer space

And it looks like you've been had

I'm just a mean green mother

From outer space

So get off my back

And get out my face

'Cause I'm mean and green

And I am bad

I'm bad

Yeah

Ooh!

Wanna save your skin, boy?

You wanna save your hide?

You wanna see tomorrow?

Ha, ha

You better step aside

Better take a tip, boy

Want some good advice?

You better take it easy

'Cause you're walking on thin ice

You don't know

What you're dealing with

No, you never did

You don't know what you're looking at

But that's tough titty, kid

The lion don't sleep tonight

And if you pull his tail, he roars

You say that ain't fair

You say that ain't nice

You know what I say? Up yours

TWOEY:

Yeah

Ow! Watch me now

I'm just a mean green mother

From outer space and I'm bad

Mean, green, bad

I'm just a mean green mother

A real disgrace

And you've got me fighting mad

I'm just a mean green mother

From outer space

Gonna trash your ass

Gonna rock this place

I'm mean and green

And I am bad

Mm-hm

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 sh*t

Unh-unh-uh!

I got killer buds, a power stem

Nasty thorns and I'm using them

So better move it out, nature calls

You got the point?

I'm gonna bust your balls

Here it comes

I'm mean and green

Mean green mother from outer space

I'm mean and green

Mean green mother from outer space

I'm mean and green

Ooh!

And I

Am

Unh!

Bad

Subsequent to the events

You have just witnessed

Similar events in cities across America

Events which bore

A striking resemblance

To the ones you have just seen

Began occurring

Ooh!

Subsequent to the events

You have just witnessed

Unsuspecting jerks

From Maine to California

Made the acquaintance

Of a new breed of flytrap

And got sweet-talked

Into feeding it blood

Thus the plants worked

Their terrible will

Finding jerks

Who would feed them their fill

And the plants proceeded to grow

And grow

And began what they came here to do

Which was essentially to

Eat Cleveland

And Des Moines

And Peoria

And New York

And where you live

They may offer you fortune and fame

Love and money and instant acclaim

But whatever they offer you

Don't feed the plants

They may offer you lots of cheap thrills

Dates and discos in Beverly Hills

But whatever they offer you

Don't feed the plants

Look out, here comes Audrey II

Look out, here I come for you

I come for you

MAN:

Oh, my God!

Yeah! Ha-ha-ha.

Help!

Hold your hat

And hang on to your soul

Something's coming

To eat the world whole

If we fight it

We've still got a chance

But whatever they offer you

Though they're slopping the trough

For you

Please whatever they offer you

Don't feed the plants

Howard Ashman

Howard Elliott Ashman (May 17, 1950 – March 14, 1991) was an American playwright and lyricist. He collaborated with Alan Menken on several works and is most widely known for several animated feature films for Disney, for which Ashman wrote the lyrics and Menken composed the music. Ashman and Menken began their collaboration with the musical God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater (1979), for which Ashman directed and wrote both book and lyrics. Their next musical, Little Shop of Horrors (1982) for which Ashman again directed and wrote both book and lyrics, became a long-running success and led to a 1986 feature film. The partnership's first Disney film was The Little Mermaid (1989), followed by Beauty and the Beast (1991). After his death, some of Ashman's songs were included in another Disney film, Aladdin (1992). more…
