Seems a downright shame . . .
TODD: Shame?
LOVETT: Seems an awful waste ..
Such a nice plump frame
Wot's-his-name
Has...Had . ..Has...
Nor it can't be traced.
Business 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 if meat what it is,
When you get it,
If you get it—
TODD : Ah!
LOVETT: Good, you got it.
Take, for instance,
Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop.
Business never better, using only
Pussycats 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 —
TODD: Mrs. Lovett,
What a charming notion,
Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate, as always.
Lovett ,How I've lived without you
All these years I'll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable.
How choice!
How rare!
LOVETT: Well, it does seem a
Waste ...
It's an idea ...
Think about it...
Lots of other gentlemen'll
Soon be coming for a shave
Won't they?
Think of
All them
Pies!
TODD: For what's the sound of the world out there?
LOVETT: What, Mr. Todd,
What, Mr. Todd,
What is that sound?
TODD: Those crunching noises pervading the air?
LOVETT: Yes, Mr. Todd,
Yes, Mr. Todd,
Yes, all around —
TODD: It's man devouring man, my dear,
And who are we
To deny it in here?
LOVETT: Then who are we
To deny it in here?
TODD: What is that?
MRS. LOVETT: It's priest.
Have a little priest.
TODD: Is it really good?
LOVETT: Sir, it's too good,
At least.
Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh,
So it's pretty fresh.
TODD : Awful lot of fat.
LOVETT: Only where it sat.
TODD: Haven't you got poet
Or something like that?
LOVETT: No, you see the trouble with poet
Is, how do you know it's
Deceased?
Try the priest.
Lawyer's rather nice.
TODD: If it's for a price.
LOVETT: Order something else, though, to follow,
Since no one should swallow
It twice.
TODD: Anything that's lean.
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.
TODD: Is that squire
On the fire?
LOVETT: Mercy no, sir,
Look closer,
You'll notice it's grocer.
TODD: Looks thicker.
More like vicar.
LOVETT: No, it has to be grocer — it's green.
TODD: The history of the world, my love —
LOVETT: Save a lot of graves,
Do a lot of relatives favors ...
TODD: — is those below serving those up above.
LOVETT: Everybody shaves,
So there should be plenty of flavors ...
TODD: How gratifying for once to know —
BOTH: — that those above will serve those down below!
TODD : What is that?
LOVETT: It's fop.
Finest in the shop.
Or we have some shepherd's pie peppered
With actual shepherd
On top.
And I've just begun.
Here's the politician — so oily
It's served with a doily —
Have one.
TODD: Put it on a bun.
Well, you never know if it's going to run.
LOVETT: Try the friar.
Fried, it's drier.
TODD: No, the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy.
LOVETT: Then actor —
That's compacter.
TODD: Yes, and always arrives overdone.
I'll come again when you
Have JUDGE on the menu . . .
Have charity toward the world, my pet.
LOVETT: Yes, yes, I know, my love —
TODD: We'll take the customers what we can get
LOVETT: High-born and low, my love
TODD: We'll not discriminate great from small
No, we'll serve anyone —
Meaning anyone —
BOTH: And to anyone
Anyone аt all!!!
