Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please?
 Are your nostrils a quiver and tingling as
 well at the delicate lashes ambrosial smell?
 Yes they are I can tell
 Well, ladies and gentlemen, that aroma enriching the bees
 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
 savory and sweet pies as you'll see
