Judge Todd

Pretty women! Pretty women!
Blowing out their candles Blowing out their candles
Or combing out their hair… Or combing out their hair…

Even when they leave you Even when they leave
And vanish, they somehow Th ey still
Can still remain Are there,
Th ere with you, there… Th ey're there…

Judge:
How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit!

Todd:
With fellow tastes—in women, at least

Judge:
What's that?

Todd:
Th e years no doubt have changed me, sir
But then, I suppose, the face of a barber—
The face of a prisoner in the dock—is not
Particularly memorable

Judge:
Benjamin Barker!

Todd:
Benjamin Barker!
Rest now, my friend,
Rest now forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels…
"Don't I know you?" she said…
You knew she lived

I was only thinking of you!

Todd:
You lied to me

Mrs Lovett:
No, no, not lied at all
No, I never lied

Todd:
Lucy…

Mrs Lovett:
Said she took the poison—she did—
Never said that she died
Poor thing,
She lived…

Todd:
I've come home again…

Mrs Lovett:
But it left her weak in the head,
All she did for months was just lie there in bed—

Todd:
Lucy…

Mrs Lovett:
Should've been in hospital,
Wound up in Bedlam instead,
Poor thing!

Todd:
Oh, my God…

Mrs Lovett:
Better you should think she was dead
Yes, I lied 'cos I love you!

Todd:
Lucy…

Mrs Lovett:
I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!
Could that thing have cared for you
Like me?

Todd:
What have I done?! …
Mrs Lovett,
You're a bloody wonder,
Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate as always
As you've said repeatedly,
Th ere's little point in dwelling on the past

-DUET AS FOLLOWS-

Mrs Lovett: Todd:
Do you mean it? No, come here, my love…

Believe me! My love…

Married? Is dead

Todd
Th e history of the world, my pet— A foolish barber and his wife,
She was his reason and his life
And she was beautiful
And she was virtuous
And he was—

Mrs Lovett:
Oh, Mr Todd,
Ooh, Mr Todd,
Leave it to me…

Todd:
Is learn forgiveness and try to forget

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

Todd:
And life is for the alive, my dear,
So let's keep living it—!

Both
Just keep living it,
Really living it—!

Th ere was a barber and his wife,
And she was beautiful
