Sweeney Todd - God, That's Good (2007) lyrics

Toby (Edward 'Ed' Sanders)

Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter)

Toby: Ladies and gentlemen

May I have your attention, please?

Are your nostrils aquiver 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: “???!”

Toby: “Right, Mum!”

Mrs. Lovett: “Quick now!”

Nice to see you, dearie

How are 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 bein' careful with your coriander

That's what makes the gravy grander!

[Instrumental]

BOTH: Eat them slow and feel the crust, how thin I (she) rolled it

Eat them slow 'cos every one's a prize

Eat them slow 'cos that's the lot and now we've sold it

Come again tomorrow!

Mrs. Lovett: Hold it!

Bless my eyes

Fresh supplies

[Simultaneously:]

Mrs. Lovett: How about it, dearie

Be here in a twinkling

Just confirms my theory

Toby! -- God watches over us

Didn't have an inkling

Positively eerie

Toby: Is that a pie fit for a king

A wondrous sweet and most delectable thing

You see, Mum, why there is no meat pie

Mrs. Lovett: Toby! -- Throw the old woman out!

Note from Moderator: The "???'s" happen to be an incredibly difficult line to decipher. If

anyone is able to figure it out, that would be much appreciated :)
