But you know me
Bright ideas just ... pop into my head
And you know what I'm thinking?
Seems a downright shame
Shame?
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, no?
Seems an awful waste
I mean, with the price of meat
What it is
When you get it
If you get it
Oh!
Good, you got it
Take for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop
Business 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
Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion
Eminently practical (Well, it does seem a waste)
And yet appropriate as always
Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived (It's an idea)
Without you all these years, I'll never know!
How delectable (Lots of other gentlemen'll soon be coming for a shave)
It's also undetectable (Won't they?)
How choice (Think of)
How rare (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
And who are we to deny it in here?
These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett
And desperate measures are called for
Here we are, then, hot out of the oven
What is that?
It's priest
Have a little priest
Is it any 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
How do you know it's deceased?
Try the priest
Heavenly
Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps
But then, not as bland as curate
And it's good for business, too
'Cause it always leaves you wantin' more
Trouble is
We only get it on Sundays
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
Everybody shaves
So there should be plenty of flavors!
How gratifying for once to know
That those above will serve those down below!
Now what have I got here, I've got, uh, got tinker
Something pinker
Tailor?
Something paler
Potter?
Something hotter
Butler?
Something ... subtler
Locksmith?
Ugh...
Lovely bit of clerk
Maybe for a lark
Then again there's sweep
If you want it cheap
And you like it dark
Try the financier
Peak of his career
That looks pretty rank
Well, he drank, it's a bank
Cashier, never really sold
Maybe it was old
Have you any Beadle?
Next week, so I'm told
Beadle isn't bad till you smell it and
Notice 'ow, well, it's been greased
Stick to priest
Now then, this might be a little bit stringy
But then again, it is fiddle player
That's not fiddle player, that is piccolo player
'Ow can you tell?
It is piping hot
Well then, blow on it first!
The history of the world, my sweet
Oh, Mr. Todd
Ooh, Mr. Todd
What does it tell?
It's who gets eaten, and who gets to eat
And, Mr. Todd
Too, Mr. Todd
Who gets to sell?
But fortunately, it's also clear
That everybody goes down well with beer
Since marine doesn't appeal to you
How about rear admiral?
Too salty, I prefer general
With or without his privates?
'With' is extra
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
There'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, that's compacter
Yes, and always arrives overdone
I'll come again
When you have judge on the menu!
Wait, true, we don't have judge yet
But there's something else you might fancy even better
And what is that?
Executioner!
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 won't discriminate great from small
No, we'll serve anyone
We'll serve anyone
And to anyone
At all!
Bright ideas just ... pop into my head
And you know what I'm thinking?
Seems a downright shame
Shame?
Seems an awful waste

[04:39.84] Cashier, never really sold
[04:43.09] Maybe it was old
[04:44.23] Have you any Beadle?
[04:46.76] Next week, so I'm told
[04:48.67] Beadle isn't bad till you smell it and
[04:51.12] Notice 'ow, well, it's been greased
[04:54.36] Stick to priest
[04:57.46] Now then, this might be a little bit stringy
[04:59.13] But then again, it is fiddle player
[05:03.28] That's not fiddle player, that is piccolo player
[05:06.45] 'Ow can you tell?
[05:08.70] It is piping hot
[05:10.23] Well then, blow on it first!

[05:18.79] Oh, Mr. Todd
[05:19.75] Ooh, Mr. Todd
[05:20.53] What does it tell?
[05:22.14] It's who gets eaten, and who gets to eat
[05:25.78] And, Mr. Todd
[05:26.96] Too, Mr. Todd
[05:27.86] Who gets to sell?
[05:29.68] But fortunately, it's also clear
[05:33.13] That everybody goes down well with beer
[05:40.51] Since marine doesn't appeal to you
[05:43.61] How about rear admiral?
[05:47.14] Too salty, I prefer general
[05:50.67] With or without his privates?
[05:53.63] 'With' is extra
[05:59.03] What is that?

[06:02.41] Finest in the shop
[06:04.28] And we have some shepherd's pie peppered
[06:06.13] With actual shepherd on top
[06:09.83] And I've just begun
[06:11.74] There's the politician, so oily
[06:13.69] It's served with a doily
[06:15.65] Have one
[06:17.30] Put it on a bun
[06:19.35] Well, you never know if it's going to run
[06:23.20] Try the friar
[06:25.08] Fried, it's drier
[06:26.99] No, the clergy is really
[06:29.19] Too coarse and too mealy
[06:30.71] Then actor, that's compacter
[06:34.24] Yes, and always arrives overdone
[06:38.48] I'll come again
[06:39.36] When you have judge on the menu!
[06:42.97] Wait, true, we don't have judge yet
[06:47.41] But there's something else you might fancy even better
[06:51.55] And what is that?
[06:53.13] Executioner!
[06:56.08] Have charity towards the world, my pet
[06:59.92] Yes, yes, I know, my love
[07:03.45] We'll take the customers that we can get
[07:07.48] High-born and low, my love
[07:10.33] We won't discriminate great from small
[07:13.99] No, we'll serve anyone
[07:16.55] We'll serve anyone
[07:18.47] And to anyone
[07:20.51] At all!
