Sweeney Todd: No I had him!

His throat was bare beneath my hand

No I had him!

His throat was there and now he'll never come again

Mrs. Lovett: Easy now, hush love hush

I keep telling you

Sweeney Todd: When? Why did I wait?

Mrs. Lovett: What's your rush?

Sweeney Todd: 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

Now 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 Joanna

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, too sir? Welcome to the grave

I will have vengenance

I will have salvation

Who sir, you sir?

No one's in the chair, come on! Come on!

Sweeney's waitin,. I want you bleeders

You sir, anybody.

Gentlemen don't be shy!

No one man, no, no 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 dishonorable 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!
