 The Worst Pies in London
The Worst Pies in London
MRS LOVETT
Wait, hat's your rush, what's your hurry?
You gave me such a fright, I thought you was a ghost
Half a minute can't you sit, sit you down, sit
All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks
Did you come here for a pie, Sir?
Do forgive me if me head's a little vague, what is that?
But you'd think we had the plague
From the way that people keep avoiding, no, you don't
Heaven knows I try, Sir
But there's no one comes in even to inhale
Right you are, Sir, would you like a drop of ale?
Mind you I can hardly blame them
These are probably the worst pies in London
I know why nobody cares to take them
I should know, I make them, but good, no
The worst pies in London, even that's polite
The worst pies in London, if you doubt it, take a bite
Is that just disgusting? You have to concede it
It's nothing but crusting
Here drink this, you'll need it
The worst pies in London
And no wonder with the price of meat
What it is, when you get it
Never thought I'd live to see the day
Men'd think it was a treat finding poor animals
What are dying in the street
Mrs Mooney has a pie shop
Does a business, but I notice something weird
Lately all her neighbors's cats have disappeared
Have to hand it to her, what I calls enterprise
Popping pussies into pies
Wouldn't do in my shop
Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick
And I'm telling you, them pussycats is quick
No denying times is hard, Sir
Even harder than the worst pies in London
Only lard and nothing more, is that just revolting?
All greasy and gritty? It looks like it's molting
And tastes like we'll pity, a woman alone with limited wind
And the worst pies in London, ah Sir
Times is hard, times is hard...
