From Sweeney Todd:
The Worst Pies in London
A Little Priest
God, That's Good!
From As Thousands Cheer:
Supper Time
Sorry that's all I could think of, but this is not exactly a conventional question!
I know you.
I know you.

Posted: 8/28/07 at 2:17pmThere's a song called Sara Lee but I have no idea what it's from or even if there is a recording of it. One of my friends performed it in college. It is really a great character piece. I'll do a search for it.
