Seems a down right shame...
Shame?
Seems an awful waste, such a nice plump frame.
What's his name has, had, has...
Nor it can't be traced.
Business needs a lift! Debt's 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.
HA!
Good, you got it.
Take for instance Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop!
Business never better using only p***y cats and toast.
And 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 eminently practical as always!
Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived without you all these years, I'll never know!
(Think about it!) How delectable!
(Lot's of gentlemen will soon be comin' for a shave?) Also undetectable!
How choice! How rare! (Think of all them pies!)
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!
And who are we to deny it in here?
These are desperate times Mr. Lovett, and desperate measures must be called for.
Her 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, ya see the trouble with poet is how do you know it deceased?
Try the priest!
Heavenly! Not as hearty as Bishop, perhaps, but not as bland as curate either.
And good for business too! Trouble is, we only get it on Sundays.
Lawyers 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 squire on the fire?
Mercy, no sir. Look closer, you'll notice it's grocer.
Look's thicker, more like vicar!
No, it has to be grocer, it's green!
The history of the world, my love...
Save alot of graves, do alot 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 those down below!
Now let's see here, we have tinker. Something pinker...
Tailer? Something paler... Potter? Hotter... Butler? Subtler... Locksmith?
Something... Lovely bit of clerk.
Maybe for a lark. Then again there's sweep if you want it cheap, and you like it dark!
Try the financier, peak of his career!
That look's pretty rank. Well he drank, it's a bank cashier.
Never really sold, maybe it was old?
Have you any beadle? Last 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 might be a bit stringy, but then of course it's fiddle player.
This isn't fiddle player... it's piccolo player!
How can you tell? It's piping hot. Then blow on it first!
The history of the world, my sweet...
Oh, Mr. Todd, ooh, Mr. Todd, what does it tell?
Is who get's eaten and who get's eat!
And, Mr. Todd, too Mr. Todd, who get's to sell?
But fortunately it's also clear, that everybody goes down well with beer!
Since Marine doesn't appeal to you, how about Rear Admiral?
Too salty, I prefer General.
With or without his privates? With is extra.
What is that? It's fop. Finest in the shop.
And we have some Shepard's pie peppered with actual Shepard's on top!
And I've just begun. Here's a 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 was really to coarse and too mealy.
Then actor, that's compactor! Yes, and always arrives overdone!
I'll come again when you have JUDGE on the menu!
Wait! True... We don't have Judge yet..
But we've got something you might fancy even better!
What's that? Executioner!
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, and to anyone,
at all!
