[00:00.59] (Lovett)That's all very well, but what we gonna do about him
[00:03.88] (Todd)Later on when it's dark
[00:06.17] We'll take it to some secret place and bury it
[00:09.63] (Lovett)Oh, yeah, course we could do that
[00:15.34] Don't suppose he's got any relatives
[00:16.74] that's gonna come poking around looking for him
[00:19.56] Seems a downright shame
[00:22.45] (Todd)Shame?
[00:25.41] (Lovett)Seems an awful waste
[00:29.66] Such a nice plump frame, what's his name has
[00:33.78] Had, has, nor it can't be traced
[00:40.22] Business needs a lift, debts to be erased
[00:47.18] Think of it as thrift, as a gift, if you get my drift
[00:53.72] Seems an awful waste
[00:59.20] I mean, with the price of meat, what it is
[01:02.63] When you get it, if you get it
[01:05.33] (Todd)Ah
[01:06.66] (Lovett)Good, you got it
[01:07.57] Take for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop
[01:11.73] Business never better using only pussycats and toast
[01:15.82] Now a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most
[01:19.86] And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste
[01:21.78] (Todd)Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion, eminently practical
[01:23.93] (Todd)And yet appropriate as always/(Lovett)Well, it does seem a waste
[01:26.20] (Todd)Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived without you, all these years I'll never know
[01:29.84] (Lovett)Think about it...
[01:30.56] (Todd)How delectable!/(Lovett)...lots of other gentlemen'll...
[01:32.31] (Lovett)...soon be coming for a shave/(Todd)Also undetectable
[01:33.75] (Lovett)Won't they? Think of all them pies!/(Todd)How choice! How rare!
[01:36.60] (Todd)For what's the sound of the world out there?
[01:40.04] (Lovett)What, Mr. Todd, what, Mr. Todd, what is that sound?
[01:43.16] (Todd)Those crunching noises pervading the air
[01:46.65] (Lovett)Yes, Mr. Todd, yes, Mr. Todd, yes, all around
[01:49.59] (Todd)It's man devouring man, my dear
[01:52.97] (Together)And who are we to deny it in here?
[02:01.90] (Todd)These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett
[02:05.61] And desperate measures are called for
[02:08.70] (Lovett)Here we are, hot out of the oven
[02:11.55] (Todd)What is that?
[02:13.51] (Lovett)It's priest, have a little priest
[02:16.60] (Todd)Is it really good?
[02:17.52] (Lovett)Sir, it's too good, at least
[02:20.11] Then again they don't commit sins of the flesh
[02:23.48] So it's pretty fresh
[02:26.95] (Todd)Awful lot of fat
[02:28.72] (Lovett)Only where it sat
[02:30.47] (Todd)Haven't you got poet or something like that?
[02:33.80] (Lovett)No, you see, the trouble with poet is how do you know it's deceased?
[02:38.69] Try the priest
[02:49.58] Lawyer's rather nice
[02:51.96] (Todd)If it's for a price
[02:53.73] (Lovett)Order something else, though, to follow
[02:55.76] Since no one should swallow it twice
[02:59.01] (Todd)Anything that's lean?
[03:00.60] (Lovett)Well, then, if you're British and loyal
[03:02.38] You might enjoy Royal Marine
[03:05.61] Anyway, it's clean
[03:07.51] Though, of course it tastes of wherever it's been
[03:10.69] (Todd)Is that squire on the fire?
[03:13.81] (Lovett)Mercy no, sir, look closer you'll notice it's grocer
[03:17.48] (Todd)Looks thicker, more like vicar
[03:20.71] (Lovett)No, it has to be grocer, it's green
[03:27.77] (Todd)The history of the world, my love...
[03:31.39] (Lovett)Save a lot of graves, do a lot of relatives favors
[03:34.16] (Todd)...is those below serving those up above
[03:38.06] (Lovett)Everybody shaves, so there should be plenty of flavors
[03:41.01] (Todd)How gratifying for once to know
[03:44.14] (Together)That those above will serve those down below!
[03:56.05] (Todd)What is that?
[03:57.21] (Lovett)It's fop, finest in the shop
[04:00.18] Or we have some shepherd's pie peppered with actural shepherd on top
[04:05.44] And I've just begun
[04:07.28] Here's the politician, so oily it's served with a doily, have one
[04:12.29] (Todd)Put it on a bun
[04:13.92] Well, you never know if it's going to run
[04:17.39] (Lovett)Try the friar, fried, it's drier
[04:20.52] (Todd)No, the clerge is really too coarse and too mealy
[04:24.20] (Lovett)Then actor, it's compacter
[04:27.39] (Todd)But always arrives overdone
[04:30.67] I'll come again when you have Judge on the menu
[04:40.59] Have charity towards the world, my pet
[04:44.05] (Lovett)Yes, yes, I know, my love
[04:47.30] (Todd)We'll take the customers that we can get
[04:50.64] (Lovett)High-born and low, my love
[04:53.81] (Todd)We'll not discriminate great from small
[04:56.91] No, we'll serve anyone
[04:59.05] (Lovett)We'll serve anyone/(Todd)Meaning anyone
[05:01.15] (Together)And to anyone at all!
