letra de a little priest (by helena bonham carter & johnny depp) - sweeney todd the demon barber of fl
mrs. lovett:
th at’s all very well, but what are we going
to do about him?
todd:
later on, when it’s dark, we’ll take him to
some secret place and bury him.
mrs. lovett:
oh yeah, of course we could do that. i don’t
suppose he’s got any relatives going to come
poking around looking for him.
seems a downright shame…
todd:
shame?
mrs. lovett:
seems an awful waste…
such a nice plump frame
wot’s-his-name
has…
had…
has…
nor it can’t be traced.
business needs a lift,
debts to be erased,
th ink 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—
todd:
ah!
mrs. lovett:
good, you got it.
take, for instance,
mrs. mooney and her pie shop.
business never better, using only
p-ssy cats and toast.
now a p-ssy’s good for maybe six or
seven at the most.
and i’m sure they can’t compare,
as far as taste—
-duet as follows-
todd:
mrs. lovett,
what a charming notion,
eminently practical and yet
mrs. lovett:
well, it does seem a waste…
todd:
appropriate, as always. mrs. lovett
how i did without you
all these years i’ll never know!
mrs. lovett:
think about it.
todd:
how delectable!
mrs. lovett:
lots of other gentlemen’ll soon be coming for a shave
todd:
also undetectable.
mrs. lovett:
won’t they? think of
todd:
how choice!
mrs. lovett:
all them
todd:
how rare!
mrs. lovett:
pies!
todd:
for what’s the sound of the world out there?
mrs. lovett:
what, mr. todd,
what, mr. todd,
what is that sound?
todd:
th ose crunching noises pervading the air?
mrs. lovett:
yes, mr. todd,
yes, mr. todd,
yes, all around—
-duet as follows-
todd: mrs.lovett
it’s man devouring man, my dear,
and who are we to deny it in here?
todd:
th ese are desperate times, mrs. lovett,
and desperate measures are called for.
mrs. lovett:
here we are, hot out of the oven.
todd:
what is that?
mrs. lovett:
it’s priest.
have a little priest.
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.
todd:
awful lot of fat.
mrs. lovett:
only where it sat.
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.
lawyer’s rather nice.
todd:
if it’s for a price.
mrs. lovett:
order something else, though, to follow,
since no one should swallow
it twice.
todd:
anything that’s lean.
mrs. lovett:
well, then, if you’re british and loyal,
you might enjoy royal
marine.
anyway, it’s clean.
th ough, of course, it tastes of wherever it’s been.
todd:
is that squire
on the fire?
mrs. lovett:
mercy no, sir,
look closer,
you’ll notice it’s grocer.
todd:
looks thicker.
more like vicar.
mrs. lovett:
no, it has to be grocer—it’s green.
todd:
the history of the world, my love—
mrs. lovett:
save a lot of graves,
do a lot of relatives favors…
todd:
—is those below serving those up above.
mrs. lovett:
everybody shaves,
so there should be plenty of flavours…
todd:
how gratifying for once to know—
both
—that those above will serve those down below!
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 a politician—so oily
it’s served with a doily—
have one?
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.
todd:
no, the clergy is really
too co-rs- and too mealy.
mrs. lovett:
then actor—
it’s compacter.
todd:
oh but always arrives overdone.
i’ll come again when you
have judge on the menu.
have charity toward the world, my pet—
mrs. lovett:
yes, yes, i know, my love—
todd:
we’ll take the customers that we can get.
mrs. lovett:
high-born and low, my love.
todd:
we’ll not discriminate great from small.
no, we’ll serve anyone—
meaning anyone—
mrs. lovett:
we’ll serve anyone—
both
and to anyone
at all!
