God, thats good! (by edward sanders & helena bonham carter)

Tobias:
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,
Th at aroma enriching the breeze
Is like nothing compared to it's 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!
Th ere 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!
Mrs. Lovett:
Toby!
Tobias:
Coming!
Mrs. Lovett:
Ale there!
Tobias:
Right, mum!
Mrs. Lovett:
Quick, now!
Nice to see you, dearie,
How have you been keeping?
Cor, me bones is weary!
Toby!
One for the gentleman…
Hear the birdies cheeping—
Helps to keep it cheery…
Toby!
Th row the old woman out!
What's my secret?
Frankly, dear—forgive my candor—
Family secret,
All to do with herbs.
Th ings like being
Careful with your coriander,
Th at's what makes the gravy grander!

Both
Eat them slow and
Feel the crust, how thin she rolled it!
Eat them slow, 'cos
Every one's a prize!
Eat them slow, 'cos
Th at's the lot and now we've sold it.
Come again tomorrow—

Mrs. Lovett: Tobias:
Hold it!
Bless my eyes—
Fresh supplies!
How about it, dearie? Is that a pie
Be here in a twinkling! Fit for a king,
Just confi rms my theory. A wondrous sweet
Toby—! And most delectable
God watches over us. Th ing?
Didn't have an inkling… You see, ma'am, why
Positively eerie… Th ere is no meat pie—

Mrs. Lovett:
Toby!
Th row the old woman out!
