Antony
|
|
I have sailed the world
|
beheld its wonders
|
from the dardinells,
|
to the mountains of Peru,
|
But there's no place like London!
|
I feel home again...
|
I could hear the city bells ring...
|
Whatever would I do?
|
No there's...
|
|
Sweeney Todd
|
|
No place like London...
|
|
Antony (spoken)
|
|
Mr. Todd, sir
|
|
Sweeney Todd
|
|
You are young...
|
Life has been kind to you...
|
You will learn.
|
(Spoken)
|
'Tis here we go our seperate ways.
|
Farewell Antony.
|
I will not soon forget the good ship bountiful, nor the young man who saved my life.
|
|
Antony
|
|
(Spoken) There's no cause
|
to thank me for that, sir.
|
It would have been a poor
|
Christian indeed
|
who would have spotted you
|
pinching and tossing on
|
that raft and not given the alarm.
|
|
Sweeney Todd
|
|
(Spoken)
|
There's many a Christian would've done just that and not lost a winks sleep over it either.
|
|
Beggar Woman
|
|
(Sung) Alms, alms for a miserable woman,
|
on a miserable chilly mornin'!
|
Thank ya, sir, thank ya...
|
How would ya like a little muff,
|
dear a little jig-jig,
|
a little bounce around the bush!
|
Wouldn't ya like to push me parsley?
|
It looks to me, dear,
|
that you've got plenty there to push!
|
Alms, alms for a pitiful woman...
|
what's got wandering wits?
|
Hey! DOn't I know you, mister?
|
|
Sweeney Todd
|
|
Must you glare at me, woman?
|
Off with you!
|
Off I say!
|
|
Beggar Woman
|
|
Then how would ya like to split me muff?
|
Mister, we'll go jig-jig!
|
A little...
|
|
Sweeney Todd
|
|
Off I said!
|
To the devil with you!
|
|
Beggar Woman
|
|
Alms, alms for a pitiful woman!
|
|
Antony (Spoken)
|
|
Pardon me, sir,
|
but there's no need to fear the likes of her,
|
she's only a half-crazed beggar woman...
|
London's full of them.
|
|
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
|
|
I beg your indulgance,
|
boy, my mind is far from easy.
|
For in the once familiar
|
streets I feel a chill of ghostly shadows everywhere.
|
Forgive me.
|
|
Antony (spoken)
|
|
There is nothing to forgive.
|
|
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
|
|
Farewell, Antony.
|
|
Antony (spoken)
|
|
Mr. Todd, before we part...
|
|
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
|
|
What is it?
|
|
Antony (spoken)
|
|
I have honored my promise never
|
to question you.
|
Whatever brought you to
|
that sorry shipwreck is your affair and yet,
|
over
|
many weeks of our voyage home,
|
I've come to think of you as a friend,
|
and if trouble lies ahead
|
for you in London, if you
|
need any help...or money.
|
|
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
|
|
No!
|
(sung)
|
There's a whole in the world
|
like a great black pit
|
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
|
and its morals aren't worth what a pin can spit
|
and it goes by the name of London.
|
At the top of the hole sit the previlaged few
|
Making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo
|
turning beauty to filth and greed...
|
I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders,
|
for the cruelty of men is as wonderous as Peru
|
but there's no place like London!
|
--
|
There was a barber and his wife
|
and she was beautiful...
|
a foolish barber and his wife.
|
She was his reason for his life...
|
and she was beautiful, and she was virtuous.
|
And he was nieve.
|
There was another man who saw
|
that she was beautiful...
|
A biased vulture of the law
|
who, with a gesture of his claw
|
removed the barber from his plate!
|
And there was nothing but to wait!
|
And she would fall!
|
So soft!
|
So young!
|
So lost and oh so beautiful!
|
|
Antony (spoken)
|
|
The lady, sir, did she, sir, come?
|
|
Sweeney Todd (sung)
|
|
Ah, that was many years ago...
|
I doubt if anyone would know.
|
(spoken)
|
Now leave me, Antony.
|
There is somewhere I must go,
|
something i must find out.
|
Now, and alone.
|
|
Antony (spoken)
|
|
But surely we will meet again before I am off to Plymouth?
|
|
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
|
|
If you want you may well find me around Fleet Street. I wouldn't wander.
|
(sung)
|
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!
