Orange Blossom, Poppyseed

As sung by EquestriaMUCK's Derpy

To “Green Finch and Linnet Bird” from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, by Stephen Sondheim, as abridged in Tim Burton's 2007 film


O range blossom, poppyseed,

chocolate chip, craisin,

How is it you rise?

How do you puffen up

Sitting in tins

Unwatched by pony eyes?


Juices inside you

Thickening!

Thickening!

Drawing down your height...


Yet you aerate,

Fluffy on my plate,

Velvety and light!


How is it you rise...

For the skies?

How is it you rise?


[instrumental break]


My home is fall-apart, dangle and drag.

Nothing there rises―everything sag.

Nothing that is, unless bake in oven!

Teach me to be more like muffin!


Aaahaahaaahaahh!


Orange blossom, poppyseed,

chocolate chip, craisin,

Teach me how to rise!

If I cannot smarts...

Let me rise!
