[00:00:00] A Little Priest - Len Cariou/Angela Lansbury

[00:00:08] Lyrics by：Stephen Sondheim

[00:00:16] Composed by：Stephen Sondheim

[00:00:25] Seems a downright shame

[00:00:28] Shame

[00:00:29] Seems an awful waste

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

[00:00:34] Wot's 'is name has

[00:00:36] Had

[00:00:37] Has

[00:00:38] Nor it can't be traced

[00:00:41] Bus'ness needs a lift

[00:00:43] Debts to be erased

[00:00:46] Think of it as thrift

[00:00:47] As a gift

[00:00:49] If you get my drift

[00:00:51] No

[00:00:53] Seems an awful waste

[00:00:58] I mean with the price of meat

[00:01:00] What it is

[00:01:01] When you get it

[00:01:02] If you get it

[00:01:04] Hah

[00:01:06] Good you got it

[00:01:07] Take for instance Mrs Mooney and her pie shop

[00:01:11] Bus'ness never better using only pussycats and toast

[00:01:15] And a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most

[00:01:19] And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste

[00:01:21] Mrs Lovett what a charming notion

[00:01:24] Eminently practical

[00:01:25] And yet appropriate as always

[00:01:27] Mrs Lovett how I've lived

[00:01:28] Without you all these years I'll never know

[00:01:30] Think about it

[00:01:30] Lots of other gentlemen'll

[00:01:32] Soon be comin' for a shave

[00:01:34] Won't they

[00:01:35] Think of

[00:01:36] All them

[00:01:37] Pies

[00:01:37] For what's the sound of the world out there

[00:01:41] What Mr Todd

[00:01:42] What Mr Todd

[00:01:43] What is that sound

[00:01:44] Those crunching noises pervading the air

[00:01:48] Yes Mr Todd

[00:01:49] Yes Mr Todd

[00:01:50] Yes all around

[00:01:52] It's man devouring man my dear

[00:01:55] Then who are we to deny it in here

[00:02:01] All these are desperate times

[00:02:03] Mrs Lovett and desperate measures mast be taken

[00:02:08] Here we are now hot out of the oven

[00:02:14] What is that

[00:02:15] It's priest have a little priest

[00:02:19] Is it really good

[00:02:20] Sir it's too good at least

[00:02:23] Then again they don't commit sins of the flesh

[00:02:26] So it's pretty fresh

[00:02:30] Awful lot of fat

[00:02:31] Only where it sat

[00:02:33] Haven't you got poet or something like that

[00:02:37] No y'see the trouble with poet is

[00:02:39] 'Ow do you know it's deceased

[00:02:42] Try the priest

[00:02:45] Heavenly

[00:02:47] Not as hearty as bishop perhaps

[00:02:49] But then again not as bland as curate either

[00:02:51] And good for business too always leaves you wantin' more

[00:02:54] Trouble is we only get it on Sundays

[00:02:58] Lawyer's rather nice

[00:03:01] If it's for a price

[00:03:02] Order something else though to follow

[00:03:04] Since no one should swallow it twice

[00:03:08] Have you anything

[00:03:09] Now do if you're British and loyal

[00:03:11] You might enjoy Royal Marine

[00:03:14] Anyway it's clean

[00:03:16] Though of course it tastes of wherever it's been

[00:03:19] Is that squire

[00:03:21] On the fire

[00:03:23] Mercy no sir look closer

[00:03:25] You'll notice it's grocer

[00:03:27] Looks thicker

[00:03:29] More like vicar

[00:03:30] No it has to be grocer

[00:03:32] It's green

[00:03:37] The history of the world my love

[00:03:41] Save a lot of graves

[00:03:42] Do a lot of relatives favors

[00:03:44] Is those below serving those up above

[00:03:48] Ev'rybody shaves

[00:03:49] So there should be plenty of flavors

[00:03:51] How gratifying for once to know

[00:03:55] That those above will serve those down below

[00:04:02] Now let me see here I we've got trun tinker

[00:04:06] No no

[00:04:07] Something pinker

[00:04:09] Tailor

[00:04:10] Paler

[00:04:11] Butler

[00:04:13] Subtler

[00:04:14] Potter

[00:04:15] Hotter

[00:04:17] Locksmith

[00:04:21] Lovely bit of clerk

[00:04:23] Maybe for a lark

[00:04:25] Then again there's sweep

[00:04:25] If you want it cheap

[00:04:26] And you like it dark

[00:04:28] Try the financier

[00:04:30] Peak of his career

[00:04:32] That looks pretty rank

[00:04:32] Well he drank

[00:04:33] It's a bank

[00:04:33] Cashier

[00:04:35] Last one really sold

[00:04:36] Was and crises old

[00:04:38] Have you any Beadle

[00:04:39] Next week so I'm told

[00:04:42] Beadle isn't bad till you smell it and

[00:04:44] Notice 'ow well it's been greased

[00:04:47] Stick to priest

[00:04:51] Now this might be a little bit stringy

[00:04:53] But then of course it's sound fiddle player

[00:04:58] No no this isn't fiddle player it's piccolo player

[00:05:02] 'Ow can you tell

[00:05:05] It's piping hot

[00:05:07] Then blow on it first

[00:05:14] The history of the world my sweet

[00:05:18] Oh Mr Todd

[00:05:19] Ooh Mr Todd

[00:05:20] What does it tell

[00:05:21] Is who gets eaten and who gets to eat

[00:05:25] And Mr Todd

[00:05:26] Too Mr Todd

[00:05:27] Who gets to sell

[00:05:28] But fortunately it's also clear

[00:05:31] But ev'rybody goes down well with beer

[00:05:40] Since marine doesn't appeal to you 'ow about rear admiral

[00:05:45] Too salty I prefer general

[00:05:48] With or without his privates

[00:05:58] What is that

[00:05:59] It's fop

[00:06:01] Finest in the shop

[00:06:03] And we have some shepherd's pie peppered

[00:06:05] With actual shepherd on top

[00:06:08] And I've just begun
