Lyrics

[Intro]
He'll think about it? He'll think about it
I don't like that guy, Mr. Mushnik, and you should hear the way he talks to Audrey
Gott in Himmel, no, the kid just said he'd mull it over
No wonder she looks so unhealthy
It's enough to make you sick
If he left me, if Seymour left me
Why then, I'd be right back where I started, which was
Broke and starving
Sweet and good and beautiful as she is
She deserves a prince, not a sadistic creep like him
Close to bankrupt
What a louse!
Beset, befuddled, and bereft
That's what I'd be if Seymour left
He's a disgrace to the dental profession
Seymour!
Sir?
Seymour
[Verse 1]
How would you like to be my son?
How would you like to be my own adopted boy?
I never liked him much before
But count the cash that's in the drawer
I've got no choice, I'm much too poor
Say yes
What for?
[Verse 2]
Seymour, I want to be your dad
I want to see you climbing up my family tree
I used to think you left a stench
But now I see that you're a mensch
So I'm proposing, be my son
[Chorus]
Mushnik and Son
Sounds great
Three words with the ring of fate
So say you'll incorporate with me
A florist's dream come true
Mushnik and his boychik, you
What business we'll do for F.T.D.
[Verse 3]
How 'bout it, Seymour, be my son?
Just say the word, I'll have my lawyer on the phone
Now, Mr. Mushnik, don't be rash, you always said that I was trash
Oh, I was joking
Sir, I'm choking
'Scuse the physical expression of my pride
Of the sweet paternal mishegoss I've kept pent up inside
[Verse 4]
Gee
So?
Well
Well?
I
You?
Go ahead and say it, Seymour, tell me that you will
Gee, I'd really like to, but-
I'll hold my breath until
[Verse 5]
Okay, you win, I'll be your son
Hooray, I win, he'll be my son
Draw up the papers, Dad, I'm touched, I really am
And when you reach age eighty-three
I'll let you come move in with me
You swear?
I promise
What a son!
[Chorus]
Mushnik and Son
That's that
Officially I'm your brat
Consider the matter closed and done
Now to the world, let's stick
Our Senior and Junior shtick
Through thin and through thick
Through sloppy and slick
So come kiss me quick
Please, don't make me sick
Mushnik and Son!
