A Little Priest

Helena Bonham Carter

Sweeney Todd - The Motion Picture Soundtrack


Mrs. Lovett: Seems a downright shame

Sweeney todd: "shame? "

Mrs. 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!
If you get my drift

Seems an awful waste
I mean, with the price of meat
What it is
When you get it
If you get it

Sweeney todd: "ah! "

Mrs. lovett: good, you got it!

Take for instance, mrs. mooney and her pie shop!
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!

Sweeney todd: Mrs. lovett, what a charming notion

Mrs. lovett: Well, it does seem a waste

Sweeney todd: Eminently practical
And yet appropriate as always!
Mrs. lovett, how I live did without you all these years
I'll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable!
How choice!
How rare!

Mrs. lovett: Think about it!
Lots of other gentlemen'll
Soon be comin' for a shave
Won't they?
Think of
All them
Pies!

Sweeney todd: What's the sound of the world out there?

Mrs. lovett: What, mr. todd?
What, mr. todd?
What is that sound?

Sweeney todd: Those crunching noises pervading the air!

Mrs. lovett: Yes, mr. todd!
Yes, mr. todd!
Yes, all around!

Sweeney todd: It's man devouring man, my dear

Ambos: And who are we to deny it in here?

Mrs. lovett: It's priest
Have a little priest

Sweeney todd: Is it really good?

Mrs. lovett: Sir, it's too good, at least!
Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh
So it's pretty fresh

Sweeney todd: Awful lot of fat?

Mrs. lovett: Only where it sat

Sweeney todd: Haven't you got poet or something like that?

Mrs. lovett: No, you see, the trouble with poet is
How do you know it's deceased?
Try the priest!

Mrs. Lovett: "Lawyer's rather nice"

Sweeney todd: If it's for a price

Mrs. lovett: Order something else, though, to follow
Since no one should swallow it twice!

Sweeney todd: Anything that's lean?

Mrs. lovett: Well, then, if you're british and loyal
You might enjoy royal marine!
Anyway, it's clean
Though of course, it tastes of wherever it's been!

Sweeney todd: Is that squire
On the fire?

Mrs. lovett: Mercy no, sir, look closer
You'll notice it's grocer!

Sweeney todd: Looks thicker
More like vicar!

Mrs. lovett: No, it has to be grocer
It's green!

Sweeney todd: The history of the world, my love

Mrs. lovett: Save a lot of graves
Do a lot of relatives favors

Sweeney todd: Is those below serving those up above!

Mrs. lovett: Everybody shaves
So there should be plenty of flavors!

Sweeney todd: How gratifying for once to know

Ambos: That those above will serve those down below!

Sweeney todd: "What is that? "

Mrs. lovett: It's fop
Finest in the shop
Or we have some shepherd's pie peppered
With actual shepherd on top!
And I've just begun
Here's the politician, so oily
It's served with a doily
Have one!

Sweeney todd: Put it on a bun
Well, you never know if it's going to run!

Mrs. lovett: Try the friar
Fried, it's drier!

Sweeney todd: No, the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy!

Mrs. lovett: Then actor
It's compacter!

Sweeney todd: Yes and always arrives overdone
I'll come again when you have judge on the menu!

Sweeney Todd: Have charity towards the world, my pet!

Mrs. lovett: Yes, yes, I know, my love!

Sweeney todd: We'll take the customers that we can get!

Mrs. lovett: High-born and low, my love

Sweeney todd: We'll not discriminate great from small
No, we'll serve anyone
Meaning anyone

Mrs. lovett: We'll serve anyone

Ambos: And to anyone
At all!
