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!

Over here, boy, how about some ale?

Let me have another, laddie!

Tell me, are they flavorsome?
They are

Right away

Could we have some service over here, boy?

Could we have some service, waiter?

God that's good!

What about that pie, boy?

Tell me, are they tender?

Thruppence

Yes, what about the pie, boy?

Thruppence for a meat pie?

Where's the ale I asked you for boy?

Ladies and gentlemen!

Toby!

Coming!
'Scuse me

Ale, there!

Right, Mum!

Quick now!

God, that's good!

Nice to see you, dearie
How have you been keeping?
Cor, me bones is weary!

Hear the birdies cheeping
Helps to keep it cheery
Toby!
Throw the old woman out!

God, that's good!

What's your pleasure, dearie?
No, we don't cut slices
Cor, me eyes is bleary!

Business couldn't be better, though

God, that's good!

Knock on wood

Psst!

Excuse me

Psst!

Dear, see to the customers

Psst!

Yes, what, love?
Quick, though, the trade is brisk

But it's six o'clock!

So it's six o'clock

It was due to arrive
At a quarter to five

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

More hot pies!

You'll come back God! Will you wait there
When it comes? Cooly
'Cause my customers truly
Are getting unruly

And what's your pleasure, dearie?
Oops! I beg your pardon!
Just me hands is smeary
Toby!
Run for the gentleman!
Don't you love a garden?
Always makes me teary
Must be one of them foreigners

God, that's good!
That is delicious!

What's my secret
Frankly, dearforgive my candor
Family secret
All to do with herbs
Things like being careful with your coriander
That's what makes the gravy grander!

More hot pies!
More hot!
More pies!

Psst!

Excuse me

Psst!

Dear, see to the customers

Psst!

Yes, what, love?
Quick, though, the trade is brisk

But it's here!

It's where?

Coming up the stair!

I'll get rid of this lot
As they're still pretty hot

And then I'll be there! It's about to be opened
Or don't you care?
No, I'll be there!
I will be there! But, we have to prepare!
But they'll never be sold
If I let 'em get cold

Oh, and
Incidentally, dearie
You know Mrs. Mooney
Sales've been so dreary
Toby!
Poor thing is penniless
What about that loony?
Lookin' sort of beery
Oh well, got her comeuppance
And that'll be thruppence
And

So she should
-Licious ever tasted smell such
Oh my God, what more that's pies good!

Ooh! Ooh!

Is that a chair fit for a king
A wondrous neat It's gorgeous!
And most particular chair? It's gorgeous
You tell me where
Is there a seat
Can half compare It's perfect!
With this particular thing! It's gorgeous!
I have a few
Minor adjustments You make your few
To make Minor adjustments
They'll take
A moment You take your time
I'll call you I'll go see to the customers

I have another friend

Is that a pie fit for a king
A wondrous sweet It's gorgeous!
And most particular thing? It's gorgeous!
You see, ma'am, why Yum!
There is no meat pie
Can compete It's perfect! Yum!
With this delectable pie! It's gorgeous! Yum!

The crust all velvety and wavy Yum! Yum!
That glaze, those crimps Yum! Yum!
And then the thick, succulent gravy Yum! Yum!
One whiff, one glimpse Yum! Yum!

And now to test
This best of barber chairs

That I'm ready to go Yes, you told me, I know
When I pound the floor! You'll be ready to go
When you pound the floor

When I'm certain that you're I'll be waiting below
In place For the whistle to blow
