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..
