Stephen Sondheim - God, That's Good! lyrics

Toby Ladies and gentlemen May I have your attention, puh-lease? Are your nostrils a-quiver 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: "Ale, there!" 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! Toby and Mrs. Lovett: 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!
