(Toby)
Ladies and gentlemen.
May I have your attention, perlease ?
Are your nostrils a-quiver 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)
Ale, there.

(Toby)
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, throw the old woman out.

What’s my secret ?
Frankly, dear, forgive my candor.
Family secret.
All to do with herbs.
Things like being careful with your coriander.
That’s what makes the gravy grander.

(Mrs Lovett et Toby)
Eat them slow and feel the crust, how thin she/I rolled it.
Eat them slow cause every one’s a prize.
Eat them slow cause that’s the lot and now we’ve sold it.
Come again tomorrow.

(Mrs Lovett)
Hold it.

Bless my eyes.
Fresh supplies.

(Mrs Lovett et Toby)
How about it, dearie ? Is that a pie.
Be here in a twinkling Fit for a king.
Just confirms my theory A wondrous sweet.
Toby, God watches over us And most delectable thing ?
Didn’t have an inkling You see, Mum.
Positively eerie Why, there is no meat pie.

(Mrs Lovett)
Toby, throw the old woman out.
