Lyrics[]

Lovett: Toby, where are you, love

Lovett: (spoken) Where is he?

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

Todd: (spoken) Toby, Toby

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

Todd: (spoken) Toby?

Anthony:
(spoken) Mr Todd!
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!

Lucy/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

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

Lucy/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!

Lucy/Beggar Woman: Hey, don't I know you mister?

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

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

Turpin: (spoken) She has?

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

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

Todd: (spoken) Yes!

Turpin: (spoken) Excellent, my friend!

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

Turpin: Oh, pretty women

Todd: Pretty women, yes!

Turpin: Johanna, Johanna

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

Todd & Turpin:
Pretty women what would we do
For women
Blowing out their candles
Or combing out their hair

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

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

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

Turpin: (spoken) What's that?

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

Turpin: (spoken) Benjamin Barker!

Todd: (spoken) BENJAMIN BARKER!

Todd:
Rest now my friend
Rest now forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels

Todd: (spoken) "Don't I know you", she said... you knew she lived

Lovett: (spoken) I was only thinking of you

Todd: You lied to me

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?

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. believe me!
(What's dead Can we still be)
Is dead married?

Todd:
The history of the world, my pet

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

Todd:
Is learn forgiveness
And try to forget

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

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

Todd & Lovett:
Just keep living it
Really living it

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

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—
