[Lenore]

"TODD:
For what's the sound of the world out there?

LOVETT:
.......
What is that sound?

TODD:
Those crunching noises pervading the air!
..........

TODD:
It's man devouring man, my dear!

BOTH:
And who are we to deny it in here?
.............

TODD:
The history of the world, my love --
.........
Is those below serving those up above!
.........

TODD:
How gratifying for once to know

BOTH:
That those above will serve those down below!
..................................
TODD:
The history of the world, my sweet --
.................
Is who gets eaten, and who gets to eat!
..................
TODD:
Have charity towards the world, my pet!

LOVETT:
Yes, yes, I know, my love!

TODD:
We'll take the customers that we can get!

LOVETT:
High-born and low, my love!

TODD:
We'll not discriminate great from small!
No, we'll serve anyone,
Meaning anyone,

BOTH:
And to anyone
At all!"

"A Little Priest" from Sweeney Todd
