Toby (Edward 'Ed' Sanders)

Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) 







Toby:		Ladies and gentlemen

		May I have your attention, please?

		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

		Savoury 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:	 “Toby!”



Toby: 		“Coming!”



Mrs. Lovett:	“???!”



Toby:		“Right, Mum!”



Mrs. Lovett:	“Quick now!”



		Nice to see you, dearie 

		How are 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!



		What's my secret

		Frankly, dear, forgive my candor

		Family secret

		All to do with herbs

		Things like bein' careful with your coriander

		That's what makes the gravy grander!



		[Instrumental]



BOTH:		Eat them slow and feel the crust, how thin I (she) rolled it

		Eat them slow 'cos every one's a prize

		Eat them slow 'cos that's the lot and now we've sold it

		Come again tomorrow!



Mrs. Lovett: 	Hold it!



		Bless my eyes 

		Fresh supplies



	[Simultaneously:]	



		         Mrs. Lovett:	How about it, dearie

				Be here in a twinkling

				Just confirms my theory 

				Toby! -- God watches over us

				Didn't have an inkling 

				Positively eerie 



		         Toby:	Is that a pie fit for a king

				A wondrous sweet and most delectable thing

				You see, Mum, why there is no meat pie



Mrs. Lovett:	Toby!  -- Throw the old woman out!







Note from Moderator:  The "???'s" happen to be an incredibly difficult line to decipher.  If

anyone is able to figure it out, that would be much appreciated :)
