Lyrics
[Tobias:]
Ladies and gentlemen
May I have your attention, perlease
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 can't imagine 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 eat pies
Mrs. Lovett's meat pies
Conjure up the treat pies
Used to be!
[Mrs. Lovett:]
Nice to see you, dearie
How have 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!
[Company:]
God, that's good!
[Mrs. Lovett:]
What's your pleasure, dearie
No, we don't cut slices
Cor, me eyes is bleary
Toby
None for the gentleman!
I could up me prices
I'm a little leery
Business
Couldn't be better, though.
[Company:]
God, that's good!
[Mrs. Lovett:]
Knock on wood.
[Todd: [Spoken]

[Mrs. Lovett:]

[Mrs. Lovett:]
So it's six o'clock...
[Todd:]
It was due to arrive
At a quarter to five— Mrs. Lovett:
And it's six o'clock! And it's probably already
Down the block!
I've been waiting all day! It'll be here, it'll be here!
Have a beaker of beer
But it should have been here And stop worrying, dear.
By now! Now, now.
[Company:]
More hot pies!
[Mrs. Lovett: Todd:]
Will you wait there, You'll come back
Coolly, When it comes
'Cos my customers truly
Are getting unruly.
And what's your pleasure, dearie
Oops! I beg your padon
Just me hands is smeary
Toby
Run for the gentle man
Don't you love a garden
Always makes me teary
Must be one of them foreigners...
Company:
God, that's good, that is delicious!
[Mrs. Lovett:]
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!

[Mrs. Lovett:]

As they're still pretty hot Todd
And then I'll be there! It's about to be opened
Or don't you care

But they'll never get sold
If I let 'em get cold.
