von Stephen Sondheim

Mrs. Lovett:
Toby, where are you, love

(spoken)
Where is he?

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
Toby, Toby

Mrs. Lovett:
Nothing's gonna harm you, darling, not while I'm around

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
Toby?

Anthony:
(spoken)
Mr Todd! (to Johanna) you wait for him here. I'll return with the coach in less than half an hour. don't worry. no one will
Recognize you. you're safe now.

Johanna:
(spoken)
Safe? so we run away and then all our dreams come true?

Anthony:
(spoken)
I hope so

Johanna:
(spoken)
I've never had dreams... only nightmares

Anthony:
(spoken)
Johanna, when we're free of this place all the ghosts will go away.

Johanna:
(spoken)
No, Anthony, they never go away.

Anthony:
(spoken)
I'll be right back to you. half an hour and we'll be free!

Beggar Woman:
Beadle, Beadle,
No good hiding i saw you.
Are you in there still, beadle,
Beadle, beadle, dear beadle
Beadle deedle deedle
Deedle deedle dumpling
Beadle dumpling
Ba deedle deedle deedle
Deedle deedle deedle deedle
Deedle deedle deedle deedle
Deedle deedle

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
Who are you? What are you doing here?

Beggar Woman:
(spoken)
Evil it is, Sir. the stink of evil from below! From her! she's the devil's wife! beware of her sir. She, with no pity in her
Heart!
(sung)
Hey, don't i know you mister?

Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
Mr. Todd?
Where is she?

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
Below, your honor, with my neighbor. Thank heavens the sailor did not molest her. thank heavens too, she has seen the error
Of her ways.

Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
She has?

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
Oh, yes, your lesson was well learned. she speaks only of you, longing for forgiveness.

Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
Then she shall have it!
She'll be here soon, you say?

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
Yes!

Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
Excellent, my friend!

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
How bout a shave?
Sit, sir, sit!

Judge Turpin:
Oh, Pretty Women

Sweeney Todd:
Pretty Women, Yes!

Judge Turpin:
Johanna, Johanna.

Sweeney Todd:
Pretty women, pretty women are a wonder. pretty women!

Todd: Turpin:
Pretty Women what would we do
For women

Turpin&Todd:
Blowing out their candles
Or combing out their hair

Judge Turpin:
Then they leave

Todd: Turpin:
Even when they even when they
Leave they still leave you and
Are there, there vanish they
There somehow can still
Remain there with
You there

Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
With fellow taste... in women at least

Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
What's that?

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
The years no doubt have changed me, sir, but now i suppose the face of a barber the face of a prisoner in the dark is not
Particularly memorable.

Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
Benjamin Barker!

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
BENJAMIN BARKER!
(sung)
Rest now my friend
Rest now forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels

(spoken)
"don't i know you", she said... you knew she lived.

Mrs. Lovett:
(spoken)
I was only thinking of you

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
You lied to me

Mrs. Lovett:
No, no, not lied at all
No i never lied

Todd: Lovett:
Lucy, said she took a
Poison, she did,
I've never said that she
Died! poor thing,
Come she lived, but it
Left her weak in the
Home head all she did for
Months was just lie
Again there in bed. should
Have been in
Lucy! hospital, wound up
In bedlam instead
Oh my poor thing, better
You should think she
God was dead, yes i lied
Cause i love you.
Lucy I'd be twice the
Wife she was i
What love you. could that
Thing have cared for
Have I you, like me?
Done?

Sweeney Todd:
Mrs. Lovett, you're a bloody wonder, eminently practical and yet appropriate as always. as you've said repeatedly there's
Little point in dwelling on the past

Todd: Lovett:
Now come here do you mean it?
My love everything I did
Nothing I swear I thought
To fear was only for the
My love best. belive me!
What's dead Can we still be
Is dead married?

Sweeney Todd:
The history of the world, my pet

Mrs. Lovett:
Oh, Mr. Todd
Oh, Mr. Todd
Leave it to me!

Sweeney Todd:
Is learn forgiveness
And try to forget

Mrs. Lovett:
By the sea, Mr. Todd
We'll be comfy, cozy
By the sea Mr. Todd
Where there's no one nosy

Sweeney Todd:
Life is for the alive, my dear
So let's keep living it

Todd&Lovett
Just keep living it
Really Living it

Mrs. Lovett:
(screams)
AHHHH AHHHHH AAHHHHHHHH AHHH AHH AH AH

Sweeney Todd:
There was a barber and his wife
And she was beautiful
A foolish barber and his wife
She was his reason and his life
And she was beautiful
And she was virtuous
And he was--
