Sweeney Todd - God, That's Good! Sweeney Todd - God, That's Good! |
| Toby: Ladies and gentlemen
May I have your attention, please?
Are your nostrils aquiver and tingling
As well at that delicate, luscious 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 gourmets among you will tell you, of course
Ladies and gentlemen
You cant imagine the rapture in store
Just inside of this door!
There youll sample Mrs. Lovetts meat pies
Savoury and sweet pies, as youll see
You who eat pies - Mrs. Lovetts meat pies
Conjure up the treat pies used to be
Mrs. Lovett:Toby
Toby:Coming
Mrs. Lovett: Ale there!
Toby: Right, Mum!
Mrs. Lovett: Quick now
Nice to see you, dearie
How are you been keeping
Cor, me bones is weary
Toby! -- One for the gentleman
Hear the birdies cheeping
Helps to keep it cheery
Toby! -- Throw the old woman out!
Whats my secret
Frankly, dear, forgive my candor
Family secret
All to do with herbs
Things like bein careful with your coriander
Thats what makes the gravy grander!
[Instrumental]
BOTH: Eat them slow and feel the crust, how thin I (she) rolled it
Eat them slow cos every ones a prize
Eat them slow cos thats the lot and now weve sold it
Come again tomorrow!
Mrs. Lovett: Hold it!
Bless my eyes
Fresh supplies
[Simultaneously:]
Mrs. Lovett: How about it, dearie
Be here in a twinkling
Just confirms my theory
Toby! -- God watches over us
Didnt have an inkling
Positively eerie
Toby: Is that a pie fit for a king
A wondrous sweet and most delectable thing
You see, Mum, why there is no meat pie
Mrs. Lovett: Toby! -- Throw the old woman out!
