0:00That's all very well
0:01But what we gonna do about him
0:03Later on when it's dark
0:06We'll take it to some secret place and bury him
0:09Oh yeah
0:11Of course we could do that
0:15I don't 'spose he's got any relatives gonna come pokin' 'round lookin' for him
0:19Seems a downright shame
0:22Shame
0:25Seems an awful waste
0:29Such a nice
0:30Plump frame
0:31Wot's 'is name has
0:33Had
0:35Has
0:36Nor it can't be traced
0:40Bus'ness needs a lift
0:43Debts to be erased
0:47Think of it as thrift
0:49As a gift
0:51If you get my drift
0:53Seems an awful waste
0:59I mean
1:00With the price of meat
1:01What it is
1:02When you get it
1:04If you get it
1:05Ah
1:06Good
1:06You got it
1:07Take
1:07For instance
1:08Mrs Mooney and her pie shop
1:11Bus'ness never better using only pussycats and toast
1:15Now a p**sy's good for maybe six or seven at the most
1:19And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste
1:22Mrs Lovett what a charming notion
1:24Well it does seem a waste
1:25Eminently practical
1:25And yet appropriate as always
1:26Think about it
1:27Mrs Lovett
1:27How I've lived
1:28Without you all these years
1:29I'll never know
1:29How delectable
1:30Also undetectable
1:30Lots of other gentlemen'll
1:31Soon be comin' for a shave
1:32Won't they
1:32Think of
1:33All them
1:34Pies
1:34How choice
1:35How
1:35Rare
1:36For what's the sound of the world out there
1:40What
1:40Mr Todd
1:40What
1:41Mr Todd
1:41What is that sound
1:43Those crunching noises pervading the air
1:47Yes Mr Todd
1:47Yes Mr Todd
1:48Yes all around
1:49It's man devouring man
1:52My dear
1:53And/Then who are we to deny it in here
2:02These are desperate times
2:03Mrs Lovett
2:05And desperate measures are called for
2:08Here we are now Hot out of the oven
2:11What is that
2:13It's priest
2:15Have a little priest
2:16Is it really good
2:18Sir
2:18It's too good
2:19At least
2:20Then again
2:20They don't commit sins of the flesh
2:23So it's pretty fresh
2:27Awful lot of fat
2:28Only where it sat
2:30Haven't you got poet
2:32Or something like that
2:34No
2:34Y'see
2:34The trouble with poet is
2:36'Ow do you know it's deceased
2:39Try the priest
2:50Lawyer's rather nice
2:52If it's for a price
2:53Order something else though to follow
2:56Since no one should swallow it twice
2:59Anything that's lean
3:00Well
3:01Then
3:01If you're British and loya
3:03You might enjoy Royal Marine
3:05Anyway
3:06It's clean
3:07Though of course
3:08It tastes of wherever it's been
3:10Is that squire
3:12On the fire
3:14Mercy no
3:15Sir
3:15Look closer
3:15You'll notice it's groce
3:18Looks thicker
3:19More like vicar
3:20No it has to be grocer
3:22It's green
3:27The history of the world my love
3:31Save a lot of graves
3:32Do a lot of relatives favors
3:34Is those below serving those up above
3:38Ev'rybody shaves
3:39So there should be plenty of flavors
3:41How gratifying for once to know
3:44That those above will serve those down below
3:56What is that
3:57It's fop
3:58Finest in the shop
4:00And we have some shepherd's pie peppered
4:02With actual shepherd on top
4:05And I've just begun
4:07Here's the politician
4:08So oily
4:09It's served with a doily
4:11Have one
4:12Put it on a bun
4:14Well
4:14You never know if it's going to run
4:18Ry the friar
4:19Fried it's drier

4:21The clergy is really
4:22Too coarse and too mealy
4:24Then actor
