Call Back in the Morning Lyrics
AUDREY:
(spoken)
Now you were saying?
(sung)
Flowers for a prom corsage?
SEYMOUR:
Flowers for an entourage?
AUDREY: Flowers to the funeral home?
SEYMOUR: Leaving from St. Andrew's Roman
Catholic Church at Ninth and Vine?
AUDREY:
Forty dollars. Hold the line
SEYMOUR: First thing in the morning
AUDREY: Fine
SEYMOUR: They'll be there in the morning
AUDREY:
Can you hold?
(to Seymour)The Rose Bowl!!
Seymour, the Rose Bowl!
You know that big inflated estimate we wrote...
For the Rose Bowl?
Well it's the Rose Bowl!
It seems they want to buy the flowers here for every single float!
(spoken)
You can't keep the tournament waiting!
(spoken)
Now you were saying?
(sung)
Flowers for a prom corsage?

Flowers for an entourage?

About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
This is a perfect way to get the audience back into the story after intermission. There are 4 phones onstage, and Seymour and Audrey have the challenge of answering all of them. The result? Comedy gold. This song also requires split second timing, both from the actors and the sound booth.
