MUSHNIK:
Seymour, what's going on down there?
Very little, Mr. Mushnik!
Uh.
- Until the weekend.
And at his press conference today,
President Kennedy fielded questions...
...concerning last Thursday's
total eclipse of the sun...
...an unprecedented astrological
phenomenon which has baffled the nation.
Ah! So, she finally decides to come to work!
Uh, good morning, Mr. Mushnik.
What morning? It's almost closing time.
Not that we had a customer.
Seymour, what in the name of God
is going on down there?
Unh, Audrey, would you go down
and see what he's...
Audrey. Audrey,
where did you get that shiner?
Uh... Uh, shiner?
Audrey, that greasy boyfriend of yours
is beating up on you again?
Look, I know it's none of my business...
...but I'm beginning to think
he's maybe not such a nice boy.
I got these pots unloaded for you, Mr...
Seymour, look what you've done to the inventory!
Don't yell at Seymour, Mr. Mushnik.
- Hi, Audrey. You look radiant today.
- Oh.
Is that new eye makeup?
Uh...
I'll help him clean it up
before any of the customers get here.
That should give you plenty of time.
Oh, God, what an existence I got.
Misfit employees, bums on the sidewalk...
...business is lousy. My life is a living hell!
Hey, you. Urchins!
Shoo! Shoo! Move! Move!
Move! Go away! No loitering!
Man, I wasn't loitering. Were you, Crystal?
Not me, Ronette. Were you, Chiffon?
You ought to be in school!
Yeah, well we on a split shift.
Right! We went to school until fifth grade,
then we split.
So? How do you intend to better yourselves?
Better ourselves? You heard what he said?
Better ourselves?
Mister, when you're from Skid Row,
ain't no such thing.
Alarm goes off at 7
And you start uptown
You put in your eight hours
For the powers
That have always been
Sing it, child.
'Til it's 5 p.m.
Then you go
Downtown
Where the folks are broke
You go downtown
Where your life's a joke
You go downtown
Where you buy your token
You go
Home to Skid Row
Yes you go
- Downtown
- Where the cabs don't stop
- Downtown
- Where the food is slop
Downtown
Where the hop-heads flop in the snow
Down on Skid Row
Uptown you cater to a million jerks
Uptown you're messengers
And mailroom clerks
Eating all your lunches at the hot-dog carts
The bosses take your money
And they break your hearts

Howard Ashman

Howard Elliott Ashman (May 17, 1950 – March 14, 1991) was an American playwright and lyricist. He collaborated with Alan Menken on several works and is most widely known for several animated feature films for Disney, for which Ashman wrote the lyrics and Menken composed the music.

After his death, some of Ashman's songs were included in another Disney film, Aladdin (1992). more…
