That's all very well
but what are we gonna do
about him
Later on when it's dark
we'll take it to some
secret place and bury him
Oh yeah
Of course we could do that
Don't suppose he's got
any relatives
gonna come poking around
looking for him
Seems a downright shame
Shame
Seems an awful waste
Such a nice plump frame
What's his name
has had has
nor he can't be traced
Business needs a lift
Debts to be erased
Think of it as thrift
as a gift
If you get my drift
Seems an awful waste
I mean
with the price of meat
What it is
when you get it
if you get it
Ah
Good you got it
Take for instance
Mrs Mooney
and her pie shop
Business never better
using only pussycats
and toast
Now a pussy's good for
maybe six or seven
at the most
and I'm sure they can't
compare as far as taste
Mrs Lovett
what a charming notion
Well it does seem a waste
aminently practical
And yet appropriate
as always
Mrs Lovett
how I've lived without you
all these years
I'll never know
Think about it
How delectable
Lots of other gentlemen'll
soon be comin' for a shave
Also undetectable
Won't they
think of all the pies
How choice how rare
For what's the sound
of the world out there
What Mr Todd what Mr Todd
what is that sound
Those
crunching noises
pervading the air
Yes Mr Todd yes Mr Todd
yes all around
It's man devouring man
my dear
Then who are we todeny it
Then who are we to deny it
in here
in here
These are desperate times
Mrs Lovett
Desperate measures
are called for
Here we are
hot out of the oven
What is that
It's priest
Have a little priest
Is it really good
Sir it's too good
at least
Then again they don't
commit sins of the flesh
So it's pretty fresh
Awful lot of fat
Only where it sat
Haven't you got poet or
something like that
No you see the trouble
with poet is how do
you know it's deceased
Try the priest
Lawyer's rather nice
If it's for a price
Order something else
though to follow
Since no one should
swallow it twice
Anything that's lean
Well then if you're
British and loyal
You might enjoy royal marine
Anyway it's clean
Though of course it tastes
of wherever it's been
Is that squireon the fire
Mercy no sir look closer
you'll no
tice it's grocer
Looks thicker
More like vicar
No it has to be grocer
It's green
The history of the world
my love
Save a lot of graves
do a lot of relatives favors
Is those below serving
those up above
Everybody shaves
so there should be
plenty of flavors
How gratifying for once
to know
That those above will serve
That those above will serve
those down below
those down below
What is that
It's fop
finest in the shop
or we have some shepherd's
pie peppered with
actual shepherd on top
And I've just begun
Here's the politician
so oily it's served with a
doily have one
Put it on a bun
Well you never know
if it's going to run
Try the friar
Fried it's drier
No the clergy is really
too coarse and too mealy
Then actor it's compacter
Ah but always arrives overdone
I'll come again
when you have judge
on the menu
Have charity
towards the world my pet
Yes yes I know my love
We'll take the customers
that we can get
High born and low my love
We'll not discriminate
great from small
No we'll serve anyone
Meaning anyone
We'll serve anyone
and to anyone at all
and to anyone at all
