Lyrics:
Mrs. Lovett: Th at's all very well, but what are we going To do about him? Todd: Later on, when it's dark, we'll take him to Some secret place and bury him. Mrs. Lovett: Oh yeah, of course we could do that. I don't Suppose he's got any relatives going to come Poking around looking for him. Seems a downright shame... Todd: Shame? Mrs. Lovett: Seems an awful waste... Such a nice plump frame Wot's-his-name Has... Had... Has... Nor it can't be traced. Business needs a lift, Debts to be erased, Th ink 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- Todd: Ah! Mrs. Lovett: Good, you got it. Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop. Business never better, using only Pussy cats 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- -Duet as follows- Todd: Mrs. Lovett, What a charming notion, Eminently practical and yet Mrs. Lovett: Well, it does seem a waste... Todd: Appropriate, as always. Mrs. Lovett How I did without you All these years I'll never know! Mrs. Lovett: Think about it. Todd: How delectable! Mrs. Lovett: Lots of other gentlemen'll soon be coming for a shave Todd: Also undetectable. Mrs. Lovett: Won't they? Think of Todd: How choice! Mrs. Lovett: All them Todd: How rare! Mrs. Lovett: Pies! Todd: For what's the sound of the world out there? Mrs. Lovett: What, Mr. Todd, What, Mr. Todd, What is that sound? Todd: Th ose crunching noises pervading the air? Mrs. Lovett: Yes, Mr. Todd, Yes, Mr. Todd, Yes, all around- -Duet as follows- Todd: Mrs. Lovett It's man devouring man, my dear, And who are we to deny it in here? Todd: Th ese are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett, And desperate measures are called for. Mrs. Lovett: Here we are, hot out of the oven. Todd: What is that? Mrs. Lovett: It's priest. Have a little priest. Todd: Is it really good? Mrs. Lovett: Sir, it's too good, At least. Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh, So it's pretty fresh. Todd: Awful lot of fat. Mrs. Lovett: Only where it sat. Todd: Haven't you got poet Or something like that? Mrs. Lovett: No, you see the trouble with poet Is, how do you know it's Deceased? Try the priest. Lawyer's rather nice. Todd: If it's for a price. Mrs. Lovett: Order something else, though, to follow, Since no one should swallow It twice. Todd: Anything that's lean. Mrs. Lovett: Well, then, if you're British and loyal, You might enjoy Royal Marine. Anyway, it's clean. Th ough, of course, it tastes of wherever it's been. Todd: Is that squire On the fire? Mrs. Lovett: Mercy no, sir, Look closer, You'll notice it's grocer. Todd: Looks thicker. More like vicar. Mrs. Lovett: No, it has to be grocer-it's green. Todd: The history of the world, my love- Mrs. Lovett: Save a lot of graves, Do a lot of relatives favors... Todd: -Is those below serving those up above. Mrs. Lovett: Everybody shaves, So there should be plenty of flavours... Todd: How gratifying for once to know- Both -that those above will serve those down below! Todd: What is that? Mrs. Lovett: 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 a politician-so oily It's served with a doily- Have one? Todd: Put it on a bun. Well, you never know if it's going to run. Mrs. Lovett: Try the friar. Fried, it's drier. Todd: No, the clergy is really Too coarse and too mealy. Mrs. Lovett: Then actor- It's compacter. Todd: Oh but always arrives overdone. I'll come again when you Have Judge on the menu. Have charity toward the world, my pet- Mrs. Lovett: Yes, yes, I know, my love- Todd: We'll take the customers that we can get. Mrs. Lovett: High-born and low, my love. Todd: We'll not discriminate great from small. No, we'll serve anyone- Meaning anyone- Mrs. Lovett: We'll serve anyone- Both And to anyone At all!
