By the Sea

MRS. LOVETT:

(she kisses Todd)

Ooh, Mr. Todd! (kiss)

I'm so happy! (kiss)

I could (kiss)

Eat you up, I really could!

You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd? (kiss)

What I dream (kiss)

If the business stays as good?

Where I'd really like to go,

In a year or so?

Don't you want to know?

TODD: (spoken) Of course.

LOVETT: Do you really want to know?

TODD: (spoken) Yes, I do.

LOVETT: 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 wot we'd almost own,

Down by the sea!

TODD: Anything you say...

LOVETT: Wouldn't that be smashing?

LOVETT:

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 ev'ry Friday!

By the sea!

Don'tcha 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!

Down by the sea

Married nice and proper!

By the sea,

Bring along your chopper!

To the seaside,

Hoo, hoo!

By the beautiful sea!
