Grow For Me - 1982 Original Cast

Aw, Twoey
Twoey, I don't know what else to do for ya
Mr. Mushnik and Audrey, they just met ya
But I've been going through this for weeks
Grow and wilt, spurt and flop
Are you sickly, little plant, or are you just stubborn?
What is it you want? What is it you need?

I've given you sunshine, I've given you dirt
You've given me nothing but heartache and hurt
I'm beggin' you sweetly, I'm down on my knees
Oh please, grow for me

I've given you plant food and water to sip
I've given you pot ash, you've given me zip
Oh God, how I mist you
Oh pod, how you tease
Now please, grow for me

I've given you southern exposure to get you to thrive
I've pinched you back hard like I'm s'posed to
You're barely alive
I've tried you at levels of moisture from desert to mud
I've given you grow-lights and mineral supplements
What do you want from me, blood?

Ow! Damn roses, damn thorns
Clumsy me
Hey Twoey, look what happened!
Hey, you opened up
I wonder what made you do that
I think I know what made you do that
Well, I guess a few drops couldn't hurt
Long as you don't make a habit out of it or anything

I've given you sunlight, I've given you rain
Looks like you're not happy 'less I open a vein
I'll give you a few drops if that'll appease
Now please, oh please
Ouch! Grow for me?
