Da-Doo by Alan Menken Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1982

[URCHINS]
Da-doo

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
I was walkin' in the wholesale flower district one day

[URCHINS]
Shoop da-doo

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
And I passed by this place where this old Chinese man

[URCHINS]
Chang da-doo

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
He sometimes sells me weird and exotic cuttings

[URCHINS]
Snip da-doo
[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
Uh, because he knows, you see, that, that strange plants are my hobby

[URCHINS]
Da da da da da da-doo

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
He didn't have anything unusual there that day

[URCHINS]
Nope, da-doo

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
So I was, ya know, just, just gonna walk on by

[URCHINS]
Good for you

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
When suddenly and without warning, there was this

[ALL]
Total eclipse of the sun!

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
It got very dark
And there was this strange humming sound
Like something from another world
[URCHINS]
Da-doo

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
When the light came back
This weird plant was just sitting there

[URCHINS]
Whoop-see-doo

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
Just stuck in among the, the zinnias

[URCHINS]
Audrey Two

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
I coulda sworn it wasn’t there before
But the old Chinese man sold it to me anyways

[URCHINS]
Sha la la, la la la, la la la loo-oo-ooo

[SEYMOUR (spoken)]
For a dollar ninety-five
