Sweeney Todd: by the Sea Songtext

von Stephen Sondheim

Oh, Mr. Todd,
I'm so happy
I could
Eat you up, I really could
You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd?
What I dream, if the business stays as good?
Where I'd really like to go
In a year or so
Don't you want to know?
Of course
Do you really want to know?
Yes, I do

By the sea,
Mr. Todd,
That's the life I covet
By the sea,
Mr. Todd,
Ooh, I know you'd love it
You and me,
Mr. T,
We could be alone
In a house what we'd almost own

Down by the sea,
Anything you say
Wouldn't that be smashing?

Think how snug it'll be
Underneath our flannel
When it's just you and me
And the English Channel
In our cozy retreat,
Kept all neat and tidy
We'll have chums over
Every Friday

By the sea,
Anything you say
Don't you love the weather?
By the sea,
We'll grow old together
By the seaside,
Hoo, hoo
By the beautiful sea

It'll be so quiet,
That who'll come by it
Except a seagull,
Hoo, hoo
We shouldn't try it
Though 'til it's legal
For two-hoo

But a seaside wedding
Could be devised
Me rumpled bedding
Legitimized
Me eyelids'll flutter,
I'll turn into butter
The moment I mutter
I do-hoo

By the sea,
Married nice and proper
By the sea,
Bring along your chopper
To the seaside,
Hoo, hoo
By the beautiful sea
