• Mrs. Lovett’s Meat Pies

    Since these meat pies reminded me so much of the ones that I saw Mrs. Lovett making in Sweeney Todd, here's some of the lyrics about them...
    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,
    Savory and sweet pies,
    As you'll see.
    You who eat pies,
    Mrs. Lovett's meat pies
    Conjure up the treat pies
    Used to be!
