LETRAS DE SWEENY TODD:

NO PLACE LIKE LONDON

Anthony Hope: I have sailed the world
Beheld its wonders
From the Dardanelles
To the mountains of Peru
But, there’s no place like London!

Sweeney Todd: No, there’s no place like London!

Anthony Hope: “Mr. Todd?”

Sweeney Todd: You are young
Life has been kind to you
You will learnThere’s a hole in the world like a great black pit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it
And its morals aren’t worth what a pig could spit
And it goes by the name of London

At the top of the hole sit the privileged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo
Turning beauty into filth and greed - I too
Have sailed the world and seen its wonders
For the cruelty of men isas wondrous as Peru
But there’s no place like London!

Anthony Hope: “Is everything alright, Mr. Todd?”

Sweeney Todd: “I beg your indulgence, Anthony. My mind is far from easy.
In these once-familiar streets, I feel shadows everywhere.”

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 wasbeautiful
And she was virtuous
And he was-- naive

There was another man who saw
That she was beautiful
A pious vulture of the law
Who with a gesture of his claw
Removed the barber from his plate
Then there was nothing but to wait
And she would fall
So soft
So young
So lost
And oh, so beautiful!

Anthony Hope: “And the lady, sir. Didshe succumb?”

Sweeney Todd: Oh, that was many years ago
I doubt if anyone would know

“I’d like to thank you, Anthony. If you hadn’t spotted me, I would be
lost on the ocean still.”

Anthony Hope: “Will I see you again?”

Sweeney Todd: “You might find me, if you like, around Fleet Street, I wouldn’t wonder.”

Anthony Hope: “Until then, myfriend.”

Sweeney Todd: 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

A LITTLE PRICE
Mrs. Lovett: “That’s all very well, but what are we going to do about him?”

Sweeney Todd: “Later on, when it's dark, we'll take him to some secret place
and bury him.”

Mrs.Lovett: “Oh yeah, of course we could do that. I don't suppose he's got
any relatives going to come poking around looking for him.”

Seems a downright shame...

Sweeney Todd: “Shame?”

Mrs. Lovett: Seems an awful waste
Such a nice, plump frame
Wot's-his-name has--
Had--
Has!
Nor it can’t be traced

Bus’ness needs alift
Debts to be erased
Think of it as thrift
As a gift!
If you get my drift

Seems an awful waste...
I mean, with the price of meat what it is
When you get it...
If you get it...

Sweeney Todd: “Ah!”

Mrs. Lovett: Good, you got it!

Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop
Bus’ness never better, using only pussycats and toast
Now a pussy’s good formaybe six or seven at the most
And I’m sure they can’t compare - as far as taste

Sweeney Todd: Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion

Mrs. Lovett: Well, it does seem a waste...

Sweeney Todd: Eminently practical
And yet appropriate as always!
Mrs. Lovett, how I did without you all these years
I’ll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable!

Mrs. Lovett: Think aboutit!
Lots of other gentlemen’ll
Soon be comin’ for a shave
Won’t they?
Think of
All them
Pies!

Sweeney Todd: How choice!
How rare!

For what’s the sound of the world out there?

Mrs. Lovett: What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?

Sweeney Todd: Those crunching noises pervading the air?

Mrs. Lovett: Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes,...
