[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
[01:45.902]	Beadle, spoken: Mr. Todd, strange, Sir
[01:49.041]	Seems your face is known to me
[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
[01:57.124]	Todd, spoken: And yet already I have heard Beadle Bamford
[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?
[02:09.677]	Mrs. Lovett, spoken: That's it, Sir
[02:10.716]	Beadle, spoken: Then Mr. Todd, you shall surely see me there before the week is out.
[02:14.856]	Todd, spoken: You will be welcome, Beadle Bamford
[02:17.470]	And I guarantee to give you, without a penny′s charge
[02:21.857]	The closest shave you will ever know
