Now (It's Just The Gas) - 1982 Original Cast

Oh boy, Seymour
 The things we're gonna do to your mouth
 This is gonna be a pleasure
 I'm gonna want some nitrous oxide for this one
 In fact, I'm gonna use my special gas mask
 Hold on, I'll be with you in a moment!
 Now!
 Do it now!
 While he's gassing himself to a palpable stupor
 The timing's ideal and the moment is super
 To ready and fire and blow the sick bastard away!
 Now!
 Do it now!
 Just a flicker of pressure right here on the trigger
 And Audrey won't have to put up with that pig
 For another day
 Now, for the girl!
 Now, for the plant!
 Now, yes I will!
 But I can't
 Yessiree Bob, I'm really flying
 I'll just take this mask off now and-
 Hey! It's stuck!
 The mask, it's stuck!
 Help me get it off, will ya?
 Don't be fooled if I should giggle like a sappy, happy dope
 It's just the gas
 It's got me high
 But don't let that fact deceive you
 Any moment I could die
 Though I giggle and I chortle
 Bear in mind, I'm not immortal
 Why this whole thing strikes me funny, I don't know!
 'Cause it really is a rotten way to go
 What we have here is an ethical dilemma
 Lest I help him get the mask removed, he doesn't have a prayer
 True, the gun was never fired, but the way events transpired
 I could finish him with simple laissez-faire
 Don't be fooled if I should chuckle like hyenas in a zoo
 It's just the gas
 It turns me on
 But don't let my mirth deceive you
 Any moment I'll be gone
 All my vital signs are failing
 'Cause the oxide I'm inhaling
 Makes it difficult as hell to catch my breath
 Are you dumb?
 Or hard of hearing?
 Or relieved?
 My end is nearing
 Are you satisfied?
 I've laughed myself to...
