Da-Doo, is a song in the 1986 Little Shop of Horrors film as well as the stage musical. It is sung to explain how Seymour found Audrey II at the Chinese Flower Shop. It is spoken rhythmically by Seymour, with short, aptly-worded lines sung by Crystal, Ronnette, and Chiffon.
Lyrics (1986 Movie)[]

Da-doo | |
(Spoken) I was walkin' in the wholesale flower district that day | |
Shoop da-doo | |
and I passed by this place where this old Chinese man | |
Chang da-doo | |
he sometimes sells me weird and exotic cuttings | |
Snip da-doo | |
'cause he knows, you see, that strange plants are my hobby | |
Da da da da da da-doo | |
He didn't have anything unusual there that day | |
Nope, da-doo | |
So I was just about to, you know, walk on by | |
Good for you | |
When suddenly, and without warning, there was this | |
Total eclipse of the sun | Total eclipse of the sun |
It got very dark, | |
And there was this strange humming sound | |
Like something from another world | |
Da-doo | |
And when the light came back this weird plant was just sitting there | |
oop-see-doo | |
just, you know, stuck in, among the zinnias | |
Audrey II | |
I coulda sworn it hadn't been there before, | |
But the old Chinese man sold it to me anyway, | |
For a dolla' ninety-five! | |
Sha la la, la la la, la la la loo! |
