Mrs. lovett: "that's all very well, but what are we going to do about him?"

Sweeney todd:"later on, when it's dark, we'll take him to some secret place and bury him."

Mrs. lovett: "oh yeah, of course we could do that.
I don't suppose he's got any relatives going to come poking around looking for him."

Seems a downright shame...

Sweeney todd: "shame?"

Mrs. lovett: seems an awful waste
Such a nice, plump frame
What'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 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 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!

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, how i did without you all these years
I'll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable!
How choice!
How rare!

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: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

Sweeney todd: and who are we to deny it in here?
Mrs. lovett: then who are we to deny it in here?

Sweeney todd:"these are desperate times, mrs. lovett, 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!

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

Ambos: that those above will serve those down below!

Sweeney todd:"what is that?"

Mrs. 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!

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:yes and always arrives overdone

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

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

Ambos: and to anyone
At all!
