Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please?
Are your nostrils aquiver and tingling as well
At that delicate lucious ambrosial smell?
Yes they are, I can tell!Well ladies and gentlemen,
That aroma enriching the breeze
Is like nothing compared to its succulent source
As the gourments amoung you will tell you,
Of course!
Ladies and gentlemen,
You won't believe all the rapture in store.....
Just inside of this door!
+++++++++++++
There you'll sample Mrs. Lovett's meat pies,
Savory and sweet pies,
As you'll see
You who eats pies
Mrs. Lovett's meat pies
Conjure up the treat pies
Used to be!
++++++++
Lovett:
Toby!
Toby:
Coming!
Lovett:
Ale there!
Toby:
Right, mum
Lovett:
Quick, now!
Nice to see you, dearie!
How are you been keeping?
Cor, me bones is weary!
Toby, one for the gentlemen
Hear the birdies cheeping,
Helps to keep it cheery!
Toby, throw the old woman out!
What's my secret?
Frankly dear, forgive my candor
Family secret,
All to do with herbs
Things like being careful with your coriander
That's what makes the gravy grander!
[both]
Eat them slow and feel the crust
How thin I (she) rolled it
Eat them slow 'cause every one's a prize
Eat them slow 'cause that's a lot and now we've sold it
Come again tomorrow,
Hold it!
Lovett:
Bless my eyes!
Fresh supplies!
[simultaneously]
How about it, dearie?
Be here in a twinkling!
Just confirms my theory!
Toby, God watches over us!
Didn't have an inkling
Positively eerie..
(Is that a pie fit for a king? A wondrous sweet and most delectable thing?
You see, ma'am, why
There is no meat pie...)
Toby, throw the old woman out!
