- Seems a downright shame...

- Shame?

- 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...

- Huh...

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

(Simultáneamente)
- Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion.
Eminently practical
And yet appropriate as always!
Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived
Without you all these years, I'll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable!
How choice!
How
Rare!
- Well, it does seem a waste...
Think about it!
Lots of other gentlemen'll
Soon be comin' for a shave,
Won't they?
Think of
All them
Pies!

- For what's the sound of the world out there?

- What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?

- Those crunching noises pervading the air!

- Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!

- It's man devouring man, my dear!

(Ambos)
- And who are we to deny it in here?

- These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett,
And desperate measures are called for!
- Here we are! Hot out of the oven!
- What is that?

- It's priest. Have a little priest.

- Is it really good?

- Sir, it's too good, at least!
Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh,
So it's pretty fresh.

- Awful lot of fat.

- Only where it sat.

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

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

- If it's for a price.

- Order something else, though, to follow,
Since no one should swallow it twice!

- Anything that's lean.

- 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!

- Is that squire,
On the fire?

- Mercy no, sir, look closer,
You'll notice it's grocer!

- Looks thicker,
More like vicar!

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

- The history of the world, my love.

- Save a lot of graves,
Do a lot of relatives favors!

- Is those below serving those up above!

- Ev'rybody shaves,
So there should be plenty of flavors!

- How gratifying for once to know

(Ambos)
- That those above will serve those down below!

- What is that?

- It's fop.
Finest in the shop.
And 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!

- Put it on a bun.
Well, you never know if it's going to run!

- Try the friar,
Fried, it's drier!

- No, the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy!

- Then actor,
It's compacter!

- And always arrives overdone!
I'll come again when you have judge on the menu!
Have charity towards the world, my pet!

- Yes, yes, I know, my love!

- We'll take the customers that we can get!

- High-born and low, my love!

- We'll not discriminate great from small!
No, we'll serve anyone,

(Ambos)
- We'll serve anyone,
And to anyone
At all!
