[A VOICE NOT UNLIKE GOD'S, spoken]
On the twenty-first 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!

[CHIFFON]
Shing-a-ling, what a creepy thing
To be happenin'

[GIRLS, spoken]
Lookout, lookout, lookout, lookout!

[CHIFFON]
Shang-a-lang, feel the sturm
And drang in the air
[CHIFFON]
Sha-la-la, stop right where you are
Don't you move a thing

[RONETTE]
You better

[GIRLS]
You better
Tellin' you, you better
Tell your mama somethin's gonna
Get her
She better. Ev'rybody better
Beware!

[GIRLS]
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!
