00:00Applause
00:01Seems a downright shame
00:15Seems an awful waste
00:20Such a nice fluff frame
00:24What's his name as?
00:26Had
00:26Has
00:27Nor it can't be traced
00:30Business needs a lift
00:33Debts to be erased
00:36Think of it as thrift
00:38As a gift
00:39If you get my drift
00:41No?
00:44Seems an awful waste
00:47I mean, with the price of meat
00:51What it is
00:52When you get it
00:53If you get it
00:55Oh!
00:56Good, you got it
00:57Take for instance Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop
01:00Business never better using only pussycats and toast
01:04And a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most
01:08And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste
01:11Mrs. Lorette, what a charming notion eminently
01:14And the glassware the confine
01:15And I'm sure they can't compare as always
01:16Mrs. Lutte, how I live without all this is I never knew
01:18Think about it
01:19I'm electable
01:20Love about the truth
01:20You're common for a try
01:21I'm electable
01:21Also I'm electable
01:22How choose
01:23Oh, what's the sound of the world out there?
01:28Mr. Tart, walk Mr. Tart what is that sound?
01:31Comes crunching noises permeating air
01:34Yes, Mr. Tart yes, Mr. Tart yes, all around
01:37This man, demowering man, my dear, and who are we talking higher to the head?
01:45Yes, these are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures are called for.
01:53Oh, here we are. Hot from the oven.
01:59What is that?
02:02It's priest. Have a little priest.
02:05Is it very good? So it's too good, at least.
02:09Then again, they don't commit sins on the flesh, so it's pretty fresh.
02:16Awful lot of frat. Only where it's sat.
02:19Haven't you got poet or something like that?
02:22Now, you see, the trouble with poet is how do you know it's deceased?
02:27Try the priest.
02:30The heavenly.
02:34Well, not as hardy as bishop, perhaps.
02:36But not as bland as curate, either.
02:38And good for business always leaves you wanting blue.
02:41Trouble is, we only get it on Sundays.
02:44Lawyer's rather nice.
02:48If it's for a price.
02:50Order something else though to follow since no one should swallow it twice.
02:54Anything that's lean.
02:56Well, then, if you're British and loyal, you might enjoy Royal Marine.
03:02Anyway, it's clean.
03:03Though, of course, it tastes of wherever it be.
03:06There's that squire on the fire.
03:10Mercy, no, sir. Look closer.
03:12You'll notice it's grosser.
03:14It's thicker. More like Victor.
03:16No, it has to be grosser. It's green.
03:19Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:23The history of the world, my lord, now.
03:27Sign a lot of rhymes to water, mail, let it just spy.
03:29It's those baleos serving those up above.
03:33Everybody shy, shy, there should be plenty of flight.
03:36Well, pretty flight, who wants to go?
03:38That those are boobies that are below.
03:44Now let's see, we have Tinker, something Pinker, Taylor, Taylor, Potter, Butler, Sutler, Locksmith.
04:09The first time it's ever worked.
04:14Anyway, lovely bit of Clark, maybe for a lark, then again there's sweet, if you want it cheap and you like it dark.
04:29Trial financier, peak of his career, that looks pretty rank, he drank as a bank cashier, never really sold, maybe it was old.
04:38Have you any peed at home? Next week, so I'm told, beetle isn't bad till you smell it and notice, oh well it's been greased, stick to priest.
04:48Now this may be a bit stringy, but then of course it's a fiddle player.
04:54No, this isn't fiddle player, it's a blow player.
04:58How can you tell?
05:00It's piping hot.
05:03Then blow on it faster.
05:05The history of the world, my sweet.
05:13Oh Mr. Todd to Mr. Todd, what does he tell?
05:16Is who gets it done and who gets it?
05:19Oh Mr. Todd to Mr. Todd who gets themselves.
05:22The torts and the maids all simply and the entry body goes down where we fit.
05:28Since Marine doesn't appeal to you, how about Rear Admiral?
05:36Too salty, I prefer General.
05:39We're all about his privates.
05:51What is that?
05:53It's fob, fob just in the shop.
05:58Then we have some shepherd pie peppered with actual shepherd on top.
06:03And I've just begun.
06:04Here's the politician so oily, it's served with a doily.
06:08Have one.
06:09Put it on a band.
06:11Well you never know if it's going to run.
06:14Dryer, dryer, dryer, dryer, dryer.
06:17No, the clergy is really force and merely.
06:20Then acta, that's compacta.
06:24Yes, and always right, overdone.
06:27And come again when you have judge on the menu.
06:30Quite true, we don't have judge yet.
06:34But would you settle for the next best thing?
06:37What is that?
06:40Exemplutional.
06:42Have charity towards the world, my dear.
06:46Yes, yes, yes, I know, my love.
06:49We'll take the customers that we can get.
06:52High, board and low, my love.
06:55We'll not discriminate, break from school.
06:58No, we'll serve anyone, meaning anyone.
07:01Thank you, everyone.
07:03Thank you, everyone at all.
07:04Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
