Though he certainly pulled off a triple entendre at least once, in "Everybody Loves Louis."

The bread, George.
I mean the bread, George.
And then in bed, George,
I mean he kneads me.
I mean like dough, George.

Baking/money/sex. And so succinctly and cleverly done.

Wow. Sondheim’s brain is really something else.

It makes me sad to realize that "give us more to see" is no longer an option. And yet, it still is in a way - because I think there are still plenty of things to find in the richness of everything he wrote.

So true! You’re making me feel so sorry-grateful. Sorry that Sondheim is gone but grateful for his legacy.

I always heard the double entendre of baking and sex, but I somehow missed the money! I guess that tells you where my priorities are... carbs and sex.

There are other clues to that in the song as well - "Louis sells what he makes" etc. It's pretty clear that Dot is getting digs in at George because he's not a lucrative artist. "Bread" and "dough" fit right in. :-)
