Mrs. Lovett:

That's all very well, but what we gonna do about him?

Sweeney todd:

Later on when it's dark, we'll take it to some secret place and bury him.

Mrs. Lovett:

Oh yeah. Of course we could do that.

Mrs. Lovett:

I don't spose he's got any relatives gonna come pokin' 'round looking' for him.

Seems a downright shame...

Sweeney todd:

Shame?

Mrs. lovett:

Seems an awful waste...

Such a nice, plump frame

What's is 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 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!

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!

Sweeney todd:

Mrs. lovett, what a charming notion and

Mrs. lovett:

Well, it does seem a waste!

Sweeney todd:

Eminently practical

And yet appropriate as always!

Mrs. lovett, how I've lived

Without you all these years,

I'll never know!

How delectable!

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:

Also undetectable!

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 :

Then who are we to deny it in here?

Sweeney todd:

These are desperate times, Mrs. lovett, and desperate measures are called for.

Mrs. lovett:

Here we are! Hot out of the oven!

Sweeney todd:

What is that?

Mrs. 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, you see, the trouble with poet is

How do you know it's deceased?

Try the priest!

Mrs. Lovett:

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:

Everybody shaves,

So there should be plenty of flavors!

Sweeney todd:

How gratifying for once to know

Both :

That those above will serve those down below!

Sweeney todd:

What is that?

Mrs. lovett:

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!

Sweeney todd:

Put it on a bun.

Well, you never know if it's going to run!

Mrs. lovett:

Try the friar,

Fried, it's drier!

Sweeney todd:

No, the clergy is really

Too coarse and too mealy!

Mrs. lovett:

Then actor

It's compacter!

Sweeney todd:

Ah but always arrives overdone!

I'll come again when you have judge on the menu!

Sweeney Todd:

Have charity towards the world, my pet!

Mrs. lovett:

Yes, yes, I know, my love!

Sweeney todd:

We'll take the customers that we can get!

Mrs. lovett:

High-born and low, my love!

Sweeney todd:

We'll not discriminate great from small!

No, we'll serve anyone,

Meaning anyone,

Mrs. lovett:

We'll serve anyone

Both:

And to anyone

At all!
