Now (It’s Just the Gas) Lyrics by Original Off-Broadway Cast of Little Shop of Horrors

Little Shop of Horrors (Original Cast Album)

0

[ORIN]
Oh boy, Seymour, the things we're gonna do to your mouth
This is gonna be a pleasure
I'm gonna want some nitrous oxide for this one
In fact, I'm gonna use my special gas mask
Hold on, I'll be with you in a moment
[SEYMOUR]
Now, do it now
While he's gassing himself to a palpable stupor
The timing's ideal and the moment is super
To ready and fore and blow the sick bastard away
Now, do it now
Just a flicker of pressure right here on the trigger
And Audrey won't have to put up that pig for another day
Now, for the girl
Now, for the plant
Now, yes, I will
But I can't
[ORIN, spoken]
Yessery-bob, I'm really flyin'
I'll just take this mask off now and-
Hey, it's stuck
The mask it's stuck
Help me get it off, will ya?
(sung)
Don't be fooled if I should giggle
Like a sappy, happy dope
It's just the gas, it's got me high
But don't let that fact deceive you
Any moment I could die
Though I giggle and I chortle
Bear in mind I'm not immortal
Why this whole thing strikes me funny I don't know
'Cause it really is a rotten way to go
[SEYMOUR]
What we have here is an ethical dilemma
'Less I help him get the mask removed
He doesn't have a prayer
True the gun as never fired
But the way events transpired
I could finish him with simple laissez faire
[ORIN]
Don't be fooled if I should chuckle
Like hyenas in a zoo
It's just the gas, it turns me on
But don't let my mirth deceive you
Any moment I'll be gone
All my vital signs are failing
'Cause the oxide I'm inhaling
Makes it difficult as hell to catch my breath
Are you dumb or hard of hearing?
Or relieved my end is nearing?
Are you satisfied? I laughed myself to...
[SEYMOUR, spoken]
Death
