《A Little Priest》歌词

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Seems a downright shame

[00:07:32] TODD (spoken):

[00:07:32] Shame?

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Seems an awful waste

[00:07:32] Such a nice plump frame

[00:07:32] Wots his name has

[00:07:32] Had has

[00:07:32] Nor he can't be traced

[00:07:32] Business needs a lift

[00:07:32] Debts to be erased

[00:07:32] Think of it as thrift, as a gift

[00:07:32] If you get my drift

[00:07:32] Seems and awful waste

[00:07:32] I mean...with the price of meat wot it is

[00:07:32] When you get it, if you get it

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Ah

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Good you got it

[00:07:32] Take for instance Ms. Mooney and her pie shop

[00:07:32] Business never better using only p**sy cats and toast

[00:07:32] Now a p**sy's good for maybe six or seven at the most

[00:07:32] And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste

[00:07:32] (simultaneously)

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Ms. Lovett, what a charming notion

[00:07:32] Eminently practical

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Well it does seem a waste!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] And yet appropriate as always

[00:07:32] Ms. Lovett, how I've lived without you all these years

[00:07:32] I'll never know!

[00:07:32] How delectable!

[00:07:32] Also undetectable!

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Think about it

[00:07:32] Lots of other gentlemen'll soon be coming in for a shave

[00:07:32] Won't they?

[00:07:32] Think of

[00:07:32] All them

[00:07:32] Pies!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] How choice!

[00:07:32] How rare!

[00:07:32] For what's the sound of the world out there?

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] What Mr. Todd, what Mr. Todd

[00:07:32] What is that sound?

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Those crunching noises pervading the air!

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Yes, Mr. Todd, Yes Mr. Todd

[00:07:32] Yes all around

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] It's man devouring man, my dear!

[00:07:32] BOTH:

[00:07:32] Then who are we to deny it in here?

[00:07:32] TODD (spoken):

[00:07:32] These are desperate times, Ms. Lovett

[00:07:32] And desperate measures are called for

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Here we are. Hot out of the oven

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] What is that?

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Its priest

[00:07:32] Have a little priest

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Is it really good?

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Sir, it's too good, at least

[00:07:32] Then again they don't commit sins of the flesh

[00:07:32] So it's pretty fresh

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Awful lot of fat

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Only where it sat

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Haven't you got poet or something like that?

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] No you see the trouble with poet

[00:07:32] Is how do you know it's deceased?

[00:07:32] Try the priest!

[00:07:32] Lawyer's rather nice

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] If it's for a price

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Order something else, though, to follow

[00:07:32] Since no one should swallow it twice

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Anything that's lean?

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Well then if you're British and loyal

[00:07:32] You might enjoy royal marine

[00:07:32] Anyway it's clean

[00:07:32] Though of course it tastes of wherever it's been!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Is that squire on the fire?

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Mercy no, sir, look closer

[00:07:32] You'll notice its grocer!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Looks thicker, more like vicar

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] No, it has to be grocer

[00:07:32] It's green!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] The history of the world, my love

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Save a lot of graves

[00:07:32] Do a lot of relatives favors

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Is those below serving those up above!

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Everybody shaves so there should be plenty of flavors

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] How gratifying for once to know

[00:07:32] BOTH:

[00:07:32] That those above will serve those down below

[00:07:32] TODD (spoken):

[00:07:32] What is that?

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] It's fop

[00:07:32] Finest in the shop

[00:07:32] Or we have some shepherds pie peppered

[00:07:32] With actual shepherd on top!

[00:07:32] And I've just begun

[00:07:32] Is the politician so oily it's served with a doily?

[00:07:32] Have one!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Put it on a bun

[00:07:32] Well you never know if it's going to run!

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Try the friar!

[00:07:32] Fried, it's drier!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] No!

[00:07:32] The clergy is really too coarse and too mealy!

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Then actor!

[00:07:32] It's compacter!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Ah, but always arrives overdone

[00:07:32] (spoken) I'll come again when you have judge on the menu

[00:07:32] Have charity towards the world, my pet!

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] Yes, yes, I know, my love

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] We'll take the customers that we can get!

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] High-born and low, my love!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] We'll not discriminate great from small

[00:07:32] No, we'll serve anyone

[00:07:32] (simultaneously)

[00:07:32] MS. LOVETT:

[00:07:32] We'll serve anyone!

[00:07:32] TODD:

[00:07:32] Meaning anyone!

[00:07:32] BOTH:

[00:07:32] And to anyone

[00:07:32] At all!
