Mrs. lovett:
A customer!
Wait! what's yer rush? what's yer hurry?

You gave me such a--
Fright. i thought you was a ghost.


Half a minute, can'tcher?
Sit! sit ye down!
Sit!

All i meant is that i
Haven't seen a customer for weeks.
Did you come here for a pie, sir?

Do forgive me if my head's a little vague--
Ugh!
What is that?

But you'd think we had the plague--
From the way that people--
Keep avoiding--

No you don't!
Heaven knows i try, sir!
But there's no one comes in even to inhale--

Right you are, sir. would you like a drop of ale?

Mind you, i can't hardly blame them

These are probably the worst pies in london,
I know why nobody cares to take them--
I should know,

I make them.
But good? no,
The worst pies in london--

Even that's polite.
The worst pies in london--
If you doubt it take a bite.


Todd:
Ugh!


Mrs. lovett:
Is that just, disgusting?

You have to concede it.
It's nothing but crusting--
Here drink this, you'll need it--

The worst pies in london--

And no wonder with the price of meat

What it is
When you get it.
Never thought i'd live to see the day men'd think it was a treat

Finding poor
Animals
Wot are dying in the street.


Mrs. mooney has a pie shop,
Does a business, but i notice something weird--

Lately, all her neighbors' cats have disappeared.
Have to hand it to her--
Wot i calls

Enterprise,
Popping !@#( into pies.
Wouldn't do in my shop--

Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick.
And i'm telling you them $%&^xx cats is quick.


No denying times is hard, sir--
Even harder than
The worst pies in london.

Only lard and nothing more--
Is that just revolting?
All greasy and gritty,

It looks like it's molting,
And tastes like--
Well, pity

A woman alone
With limited wind
And the worst pies in london!


Ah sir,
Times is hard. times is hard.

Todd: [spoken]

Isn't that a room up there over the shop? if times are
So hard, why don't you rent it out? that should bring
In something.

Mrs. lovett: [spoken]

Up there? oh, no one will go near it. people think
It's haunted. you see, years ago, something happened
Up there. something not very nice.
