A Little Priest |
| Seems a downright shame |
| Shame? |
| Seems an awful waste |
| Such a nice plump frame |
| What's his name has… had… has |
| Nor he 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 |
| Ah! |
| 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 without you all these years |
| I'll never know |
| (Think about it) |
| How delectable |
| (Lots of other gentlemen'll soon be) |
| Also undetectable |
| (comin' for a shave |
| 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 |
| Then who are we to deny it in here? |
| 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 |
| That those above will serve those down below! |
| What is that? |
| 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! |
| 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! |
| Ah, but 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 |
| Meaning anyone! |
| We'll serve anyone |
| And to anyone! |
| At all! |
