Seems a downright shame...

Sweeney Todd
Shame?

Mrs. Lovett
Seems an awful waste...
Such a nice, plump frame
Wot's 'is name has...
Had...
Has
Nor it can't be traced...
Bus'ness needs a lift,
Debts 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...

Sweeney Todd
AH!

Mrs Lovett
Good, you got it!

Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop!
Bus'ness never better using only pussycats and toast!
Now a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most!
And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste!

[Simultaneously]

Sweeney Todd
Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion

Mrs. Lovett
Well, it does seem a waste...

Sweeney Todd
Eminently practical
And yet appropriate as always!

Mrs. Lovett
It's an idea...

Sweeney Todd
Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived
Without you all these years, I'll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable!

Mrs. Lovett
Think about it!
Lots of other gentlemen'll
Soon be comin' for a shave,
Won't they?
Think of
All them
Pies!

Sweeney Todd
How choice!
How
Rare!
For what's the sound of the world out there?

Mrs. Lovett
What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?

Sweeney Todd
Those crunching noises pervading the air!

Mrs. Lovett
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!

Sweeney Todd
It's man devouring man, my dear!

BOTH:
And [ Mrs. Lovett: Then] who are we to deny it in here?

Sweeney Todd
(spoken) These are desperate times,
Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures are called for!

Mrs. Lovett
Here we are, now! Hot out of the oven!

Sweeney Todd
What is that?

LOVETT:
It's priest. Have a little priest.

Sweeney 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.

Sweeney Todd
Awful lot of fat.

Mrs Lovett
Only where it sat.

Sweeney Todd
Haven't you got poet, or something like that?

Mrs. Lovett
No, y'see, the trouble with poet is
'Ow do you know it's deceased?
Try the priest!
Lawyer's rather nice.

Sweeney Todd
If it's for a price.

Mrs. Lovett
Order something else, though, to follow,
Since no one should swallow it twice!

Sweeney Todd
Anything that's lean.

Mrs. Lovett
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!

Sweeney Todd
Is that squire,
On the fire?

Mrs. Lovett
Mercy no, sir, look closer,
You'll notice it's grocer!

Sweeney Todd
Looks thicker,
More like vicar!

Mrs Lovett
No, it has to be grocer --
It's green!

Sweeney Todd
The history of the world, my love --

Mrs. Lovett
Save a lot of graves,
Do a lot of relatives favors!

Sweeney Todd
Is those below serving those up above!

Mrs. Lovett
Ev'rybody shaves,
So there should be plenty of flavors!

Sweeney Todd
How gratifying for once to know

BOTH
That those above will serve t
