| [00:02.275] | Pirelli: To shave the face |
| [00:04.652] | To pull the tooth |
| [00:07.012] | Require the grace |
| [00:09.636] | And not the brute |
| [00:12.009] | For if you slip |
| [00:14.093] | You nick the skin |
| [00:15.120] | You clip the chin |
| [00:16.436] | You rip the lip a bit |
| [00:17.726] | And that′s the truth |
| [00:24.206] | To shave the face |
| [00:26.803] | Or even a part |
| [00:28.912] | Without it smart |
| [00:31.520] | Require the heart |
| [00:37.543] | It take the art |
| [00:39.628] | I show you a chart |
| [00:41.987] | I study, starting in my youth |
| [00:50.123] | To cut the hair |
| [00:53.263] | To trim the beard |
| [00:55.811] | To make the bristle clean like a whistle |
| [01:00.763] | This is from early infancy |
| [01:03.096] | The talent give to me by God |
| [01:14.370] | It take the skill |
| [01:16.921] | It take the brains |
| [01:18.984] | It take the will |
| [01:21.344] | To take the pains |
| [01:24.438] | It take the pace |
| [01:27.330] | It take the grace |
| [01:35.726] | Beadle, spoken: The winner is Todd |
| [01:38.527] | Pirelli, spoken: Sir, I bow to a skill far defter than my own |

| [01:50.613] | Mrs. Lovett, spoken: Him? That's a laugh |
| [01:52.693] | Him being me uncle′s cousin |
| [01:54.513] | And arrived from Birmingham only yesterday |

| [02:00.756] | Spoken of with great respect |
| [02:03.382] | Beadle, spoken: Well Sir, I try my best for my neighbours, in Fleet Street? Above your pie shop, ma'am? |
