Letra de canción descargada de: https://www.albumcancionyletra.com ------------------------------------------ Jesse Spencer - A Little Priest ------------------------------------------ ? Seems a downright shame... ? Shame? ? Seems an awful waste... Such a nice, plump frame Wot's 'is 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... ? Huh... ? 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! (Simultáneamente) ? Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion. Eminently practical And yet appropriate as always! Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived Without you all these years, I'll never know! How delectable! Also undetectable! How choice! How Rare! ? 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! ? For what's the sound of the world out there? ? What, Mr. Todd? What, Mr. Todd? What is that sound? ? Those crunching noises pervading the air! ? Yes, Mr. Todd! Yes, Mr. Todd! Yes, all around! ? It's man devouring man, my dear! (Ambos) ? And who are we to deny it in here? ? These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett, And desperate measures are called for! ? Here we are! Hot out of the oven! ? What is that? ? It's priest. Have a little priest. ? Is it really good? ? Sir, it's too good, at least! Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh, So it's pretty fresh. ? Awful lot of fat. ? Only where it sat. ? Haven't you got poet, or something like that? ? No, y'see, the trouble with poet is Ow' do you know it's deceased? Try the priest. Lawyer's rather nice. ? If it's for a price. ? Order something else, though, to follow, Since no one should swallow it twice! ? Anything that's lean. ? 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! ? Is that squire, On the fire? ? Mercy no, sir, look closer, You'll notice it's grocer! ? Looks thicker, More like vicar! ? No, it has to be grocer -- It's green! ? The history of the world, my love. ? Save a lot of graves, Do a lot of relatives favors! ? Is those below serving those up above! ? Ev'rybody shaves, So there should be plenty of flavors! ? How gratifying for once to know (Ambos) ? That those above will serve those down below! ? What is that? ? It's fop. Finest in the shop. And we have some shepherd's pie peppered With actual shepherd on top! And I've just begun, Here's the politician, so oily It's served with a doily, Have one! ? Put it on a bun. Well, you never know if it's going to run! ? Try the friar, Fried, it's drier! ? No, the clergy is really Too coarse and too mealy! ? Then actor, It's compacter! ? And always arrives overdone! I'll come again when you have judge on the menu! Have charity towards the world, my pet! ? Yes, yes, I know, my love! ? We'll take the customers that we can get! ? High-born and low, my love! ? We'll not discriminate great from small! No, we'll serve anyone, (Ambos) ? We'll serve anyone, And to anyone At all!
