Mr Todd, you have to help me...
Mr Todd, please!
SWEENEY TODD
Out!
ANTHONY
Mr Todd!
SWEENEY TODD
OUT!
MRS LOVETT
What's happened?
SWEENEY TODD
I had him, his throat was bare beneath my hand
No, I had him, his throat was there and he'll never come again
MRS LOVETT
Easy now, hush love hush
I keep telling you
SWEENEY TODD
When?
MRS LOVETT
What's your rush?
SWEENEY TODD
Why did I wait? You told me to wait
Now he'll never come again
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it
But not for long...
They all deserve to die
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one staying put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you
No, we all deserve to die, even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us death will be a relief
We all deserve to die
And I'll never see Johanna
No I'll never hug my girl to me - finished!
Alright! You sir, how about a shave?
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney
You sir, two sir? Welcome to the grave
I will have vengenance, I will have salvation
Who, Sir, you, Sir? No one in the chair, come on! Come on!
Sweeney's waiting, I want you bleeders
You, Sir, anybody, gentlemen, now don't be shy!
Not one man, no, nor ten men, nor a hundred can assuage me
I will have you!
And I will get him back, even as he gloats
In the meantime I'll practice on less honourable throats
And my Lucy lies in ashes, and I'll never see my girl again
But the work waits, I'm alive at last, and I'm full of joy...
Sweeney Todd
