Prologue / Little Shop of Horrors Song Lyrics

---

On the twenty-third day of the month of September
in an early year of a decade not too long before our own,
the human race suddenly encountered a deadly
threat to its very existence.
And this terrifying enemy surfaced,
as such enemies often do,
in the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places.

[CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON]
Little shop, little shoppa horrors.
Little shop, little shoppa terror.
Call a cop. Little shoppa horrors.
No, oh, oh, no-oh!

Little shop, little shoppa horrors.
Bop sh'bop, little shoppa terror.
Watch 'em drop! Little shoppa horrors.
No, oh, oh, no-oh!

Shing-a-ling, what a creepy thing
to be happening!
Shang-a-lang, feel the sturm
and drang in the air.

Sha-la-la, stop right where you are.
Don't you move a thing.
You better (tellin' you, you better)
Tell your mama somethin's gonna
get her
She better (ev'rybody better)
Beware!

Oh, here it comes, baby
Tell the bums, baby
No, oh, oh, no!

Oh, hit the dirt, baby
Red alert, baby
No, oh, oh, no!

Ally-oop, haul it off the stoop
I'm warning you
Run away, child you're gonna pay
If you fail!

Look around, look who's coming down the street for you
You bet 'cha you betcha bet your but
You bet 'cha
Best believe it something's
Come to get 'cha
You bet'cha
Better watch your back and your tail!

Little shop, little shoppa horrors.
Bop sh-bop, you'll never stop
the terror.
Little shop, little shoppa horrors.
No, oh, oh, no, oh, oh, no, oh, oh, no!
