[MRS. LOVETT:]

That's all very well.

What're we gonna do about him?

[TODD:]

Later on, when it's dark,

we'll take him to some secret place and bury him.

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Well, of course, we could do that.

I don't suppose he's got any relatives going to come poking around looking for him.

You know me,

bright ideas just pop into my head and I keep thinking...

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

Think of it as thrift

As a gift...

If you get my drift...Huh?

No?

Seems an awful waste

I mean

With the price of meat what it is

When you get it

If you get it-

[TODD:]

Ha ha ha…

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Good, you got it

Take, for instance

Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop

Business never better, using only pussycats and toast

And a p***y's good for maybe six or seven at the most

And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste...

[TODD:]

Mrs. Lovett

What a charming notion

Eminently practical

And yet appropriate as always

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Well, it does seem a waste

[TODD:]

Mrs. Lovett

How I've lived without you all these years

[MRS. LOVETT:]

It's an idea

[TODD:]

I'll never know!

How delectable!

Also undetectable

How choice!

How rare!

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Think about it

Lots of other gentlemen'll

Soon be coming for a shave

Won't they?

Think of

All them

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:]

Those crunching noises pervading the air!

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Yes, Mr. Todd, yes, Mr. Todd

Yes, all around

[TODD:]

It's man devouring man, my dear—

[TODD & MRS. LOVETT:]

And who are we to deny it in here?

[TODD:]

Ah, these are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett.

And desperate measures are called for.

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Here we are, hot from 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!

[TODD:]

Hmmm…Heavenly!

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Ah~

[TODD:]

Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps,

But then not as bland as curate, either

[MRS. LOVETT:]

And good for business-

Always leaves you wanting more.

Trouble is, we only get it in Sundays.

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, but 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

[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 & MRS. LOVETT:]

Hahahahaha!

[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 flavors

[TODD:]

How gratifying for once to know-

[TODD & MRS. LOVETT:]

That those above will serve those down below!

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Now, let's see...

We've got…tinker?

[TODD:]

Something…pinker.

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Mm, tailor?

[TODD:]

Hmmm…paler.

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Potter?

[TODD:]

Hotter.

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Butler?

[TODD:]

Subtler!

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Locksmith?

[TODD:]

Err…

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Lovely bit of clerk

[TODD:]

Maybe for a lark

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Then again, there's sweep

If you want it cheap

And you like it dark

Try the financier

Peak of his career

[TODD:]

That looks pretty rank

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Well, he drank

It's a bank cashier

Last one really sold

Wasn't quite so old

[TODD:]

Have you any beadle?

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Next week, so I'm told

Beadle isn't bad till you smell it

And notice how well it's been greased

Stick to priest

Now this may be a bit stringy,

But then again, it's fiddle player

[TODD:]

Ah, no, no, no, that's not fiddle player.

That's piccolo player.

[MRS. LOVETT:]

How can you tell?

[TODD:]

Because it's piping hot!

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Then blow on it first!

[TODD:]

The history of the world, my sweet

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Oh, Mr. Todd, ooh, Mr. Todd

What does it tell?

[TODD:]

Is who gets eaten, and who gets to eat

[MRS. LOVETT:]

And, Mr. Todd, too, Mr. Todd

Who gets to sell

[TODD:]

But fortunately, it's also clear

[TODD & MRS. LOVETT:]

That everybody

Goes down well with beer!

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Since marine doesn't appeal to you,

How about Rear Admiral?

[TODD:]

Too salty. I prefer General.

[MRS. LOVETT:]

With or without his privates?

Wi- "With" is extra!

[TODD & MRS. LOVETT:]

Hahahahaha!

[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 the 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—

That's compacter

[TODD:]

Yes, and always arrives overdone

I'll come again when you have JUDGE on the menu!

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Wait! True, we don't have judge yet,

But we've got something you might fancy even better

[TODD:]

What's that?

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Executioner~

[TODD:]

Have charity towards 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

[MRS. LOVETT:]

Meaning anyone

[TODD & MRS. LOVETT:]

And to anyone

At all!
