paroles de chanson A Little Priest - Angela Lansbury , Len Cariou

Mrs. Lovett: "That′s all very well, but what are we going to do about him?"
Sweeney 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...
Sweeney 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
Bus'ness needs a lift
Debts to be erased
Think 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--
Sweeney Todd: "Ah!"
Mrs. Lovett: Good, you got it!
Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop
Bus′ness never better, using only pussycats and toast
Now a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most
And I′m sure they can't compare - as far as taste
Sweeney Todd: Mrs. Lovett
What a charming notion
Eminently practical and yet appropriate as always
Mrs. Lovett
How I did without you all these years I′ll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable
How choice!
How rare!
Mrs. Lovett: Well, it does seem a waste...
Think about it!
Lots of other gentlemen'll
Soon be comin' for a shave
Won′t they?
Think of
All them
Pies!
Sweeney Todd: For what′s the sound of the world out there?
Mrs. Lovett: What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?
Sweeney Todd: Those crunching noises pervading the air?
Mrs. Lovett: Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!
Sweeney Todd: It's man devouring man, my dear
Sweeney Todd: And who are we to deny it in here?
Mrs. Lovett: Then who are we to deny it in here?
Sweeney Todd: "These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett, and desperate
Measures are called for."
Mrs. Lovett: "Here we are, hot out of the oven."
Sweeney Todd: "What is that?"
Mrs. Lovett: It′s priest
Have a little priest
Sweeney 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
Sweeney Todd: Awful lot of fat
Mrs. Lovett: Only where it sat
Sweeney 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!
Mrs. Lovett: Lawyer′s rather nice
Sweeney Todd: If it′s for a price
Mrs. Lovett: Order something else, though, to follow
Since no one should swallow it twice!
Sweeney Todd: Anything that's lean?
Mrs. Lovett: Well, then, if you′re British and loyal
You might enjoy Royal Marine!
Anyway, it's clean
Though of course, it tastes of wherever it′s been!
Sweeney Todd: Is that squire
On the fire?
Mrs. Lovett: Mercy no, sir
Look closer
You'll notice it′s grocer!
Sweeney Todd: Looks thicker
More like vicar
Mrs. Lovett: No, it has to be grocer-- it's green
Sweeney Todd: The history of the world, my love--
Mrs. Lovett: Save a lot of graves
Do a lot of relatives favours
Sweeney Todd: --Is those below serving those up above
Mrs. Lovett: Ev'rybody shaves
So there should be plenty of flavours...
Sweeney Todd: How gratifying for once to know--
BOTH: That those above will serve those down below!
Sweeney 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--
′Ere's a politician - so oily
It′s served with a doily--
'Ave one?
Sweeney 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
Sweeney Todd: No, the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy
Mrs. Lovett: Then actor--
It's compacter
Sweeney Todd: Ah, but always arrives overdone
I′ll come again when you have Judge on the menu
Sweeney Todd: Have charity towards the world, my pet
Mrs. Lovett: Yes, yes, I know, my love!
Sweeney Todd: We′ll take the customers that we can get
Mrs. Lovett: High-born and low, my love
Sweeney Todd: We'll not discriminate great from small
No, we′ll serve anyone--
Sweeney Todd: Meaning anyone--
Mrs. Lovett: We'll serve anyone--
BOTH: And to anyone--
At all!
