Alan Menken
Mushnik and Son
[MUSHNIK, spoken]
Seymour?
[SEYMOUR, spoken]
Sir?
[MUSHNIK]
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
(spoken)
Say yes
[SEYMOUR, spoken]
What for?
[MUSHNIK]
Seymour, I want to be your dad
I'll gladly treat you
Like my blood and my own flesh
[SEYMOUR]
Like Ozzie Nelson, Dave and Rick?
[MUSHNIK]
Like Honey Fitz and take your pick
[SEYMOUR]
Then kiss me quick, I'll be your son
[MUSHNIK]
Don't make me sick, just be my son
[MUSHNIK, SEYMOUR]
Mushnik & Son!
[MUSHNIK]
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
[BOTH]
Like Andy Hardy and the Judge
Like Zeus and Mercury
Like Dumas, fils and pere
[SEYMOUR]
In trouble sickness and in wealth
[MUSHNIK]
We'll share the plant and share the wealth
I'll call my lawyer
[SEYMOUR]
Call me son
[BOTH]
Mushnik & Son. That's that
[SEYMOUR]
Officially I'm your brat
[MUSHNIK & SEYMOUR]
Consider the matter closed and done
Now to the world let's stick
Our Senior and Junior shtick
[SEYMOUR]
Through thin and through thick
[MUSHNIK]
Through sloppy and slick
[BOTH]
Through kiss and through kick
Mushnik & Son!
