I wish they released the background music within the soundtrack
Mrs. Lovett: 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 p____cats and toast
Now a p____'s good for maybe six or seven at the most
And I'm sure they can't compare - as far as taste
[Simultaneously:]
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?"

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!
[Brief Instrumental]
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?

Is this the movie version or the stage version?
Definitely the movie version
@@ShinjiSings idk, I think its the stage version bc the flow of the movie version is off from this.
@@totallytoni1228 It's a weird mixture. The flow is musical, but the length is movie. It's missing the general with the privates-part
its movie
Stage version is about 9 minutes long
2:01
