Good Enough to Eat

Lyrics

[CODWELL] Mr. Blight, Mr. Blight You are in for such a treat I have got some little doves Darling sprouts, hereabouts That I'd love for you to meat [CODWELL, SPOKEN] Step right up sir! Welcome to Blight's Butcher Shop What can we get for you today [BLIGHT, SPOKEN] Have you any...ham? [CODWELL, SPOKEN] Oh, courtesy of Sam! [BLIGHT, CODWELL] How about...veal? (Yes, thanks to Camille) Kidney? (Sydney) Belly? (Kelly) Lamb? (That's Pam with some jam or mint jelly) [BLIGHT] I'd like some ground beef [CODWELL] Well, then sir, you're in luck Which do you prefer? We've got Patty or Chuck [BLIGHT] Have you any mutton? [CODWELL] That would be Sutton [BLIGHT] Perhaps some foie gras [CODWELL] Voila, c'est Francois [BLIGHT] Balonеy [CODWELL] Tony [BLIGHT] Salami [CODWELL] Tommy And we've also got Reubеn if you like pastrami [BLIGHT] But do you have mincemeat? [CODWELL] Well, since meat is sparse We've got Vince meat instead Sliced right off his a- [BLIGHT, SPOKEN] Miss Codwell, please! There are children present [CODWELL, SPOKEN] Not for long [BLIGHT, SPOKEN] No, because we're gonna kill them and sell them as meat [CODWELL] Ain't got no dad Ain't got mum But are they sad? Or are they glum? [BOTH] No, they confront a world that's vile and mean With the sweetest smiles you've ever seen Oh, they're good enough to eat [CODWELL, BLIGHT] A job well done (A job well done) Is oh so rare (is oh so rare) When sun to sun (When sun to sun) The cupboard's bare (So bare) [BOTH] Before these darlings get much thinner I think we ought to make them dinner Ooh, they're good enough to eat [SPOKEN] Supper time! Careful, ooh, could take an eye out [ORPHANS] We may not be respectable But we are so delectable Don't mean to be presumptuous But truth is, we are scrumptious Cakes and candies ain't half as sweet Ooh, we're good enough to eat [CODWELL, ORPHANS] Ain't got no dad (We may not be respectable) Ain't got mum (But we are so delectable) But are they sad? (Don't mean to be presumptuous) Or are they glum, so glum? (But truth is, we are scrumptious) [CODWELL AND BLIGHT, ORPHANS] No, they confront a world that's vile and mean (Cakes and candies ain't half as sweet) With the sweetest smiles you've ever seen [ALL] Oh, they're good enough to eat [Dance break] [CODWELL] [vocalizes] [CODWELL AND BLIGHT, ORPHANS] When times is hard (When times is hard) You must make do (You must make do) All out of lard? (All out of lard?) Try Mary Lou (And try her brother too) [ALL, CODWELL] Yes, when you lack a key ingredient Substitutes become expedient Ooh, they're good enough Though they're kinda tough Ooh, they're good enough to eat (Enough to eat) (Enough to eat) Eat, darn ya, eat!
