Cover art for Pirelli's Miracle Elixir lyrics by Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

This is such a funny song, but the original Broadway version is so much funnier. The stuff they took out of that version may not have been necessary, but it added a lot.

Good either way.

Obviously, this song is basically a commercial for Pirelli's Miracle Elixir - old school style.
