Lovett:
Seems a downright shame...
Todd:
Shame?
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!
(spoken)
If you get my drift..
(Sung)
Seems an awful waste. I mean, with the price of meat,
What it is, when you get it...if you get it...
Todd:
Ah!
Lovett:
Good, you got it.
Take for instance Mrs. Mooney and her pie shoppe
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!
Todd:
Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion, eminently (Well it does seems a waste) practical and yet appropriate as always,
Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived without you all these years I'll never know
Lovett:
Think about it, lots of other gentlemen'll soon be coming for a shave!
(How delectable......also undetectible...)Won't they? (How choice)
Think of (How rare!)
All them, pies!
Todd:
For what's the sound of the world out there?
Lovett:
What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?
Todd:
Those crunching noises pervading the air!
Lovett:
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!
Todd:
It's man devouring man, my dear..[unison]
And who are we to deny it in here?...
(SPOKEN)
Todd: These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett...
deperate measures are called for...
Lovett:
Here we are, hot out of the oven!
Todd:
What is that?
(SUNG)
Lovett:
It's priest
Have a little priest..

Sweeney Todd Song Lyrics
RandomA collection of movie version lyrics from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007). I'm doing them all in order. I hope that they're helpful in some way. (PG-13 for language, really. Also some dramatic, violent themes I guess)
