Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street the Musical - The Judge's Return Lyrics
JUDGE:
Where is she? Where is the girl?
TODD:
Below, your honour.
With my neighbour, Mrs. Lovett.
Thank heavens the sailor did not molest her.
Thank heavens too, she has seen the error of her ways.
JUDGE:
She has?
TODD:
Oh yes, sir, your lesson was well learned.
She speaks only of you, longing for forgiveness.
JUDGE:
And she shall have it.
She'll be here soon, you say?
TODD:
Shhh! I think I hear her now!
JUDGE:
Oh, excellent, my friend!
TODD:
Is that her dainty footstep on the stair?
JUDGE:
I hear nothing.
TODD:
Yes, isn't that her shadow on the wall?
JUDGE:
Where?
TODD:
There!
Primping,
Making herself even prettier than usual-
JUDGE:
Even prettier
TODD:
If possible.
JUDGE:
Ohhhhhhh,
Pretty women!
TODD:
Pretty women, yes...
JUDGE:
Quickly, sir, a splash of bay rum!
TODD:
Sit, sir, sit.
JUDGE:
Johanna, Johanna...
TODD:
Pretty women...
JUDGE:
Hurry, man!
TODD:
Pretty women
Are a wonder...
JUDGE:
You're in a merry mood again today, Mr. Todd.
TODD:
Pretty women!
JUDGE: TODD:
What we do for
Pretty women! Pretty women!
Blowing out their candles Blowing out their candles
Or combing out their hair- Or combing out their hair,
Then they leave-
Even when they leave you Even when they leave,
And vanish, they somehow! They still,
Can still remain Are there,
There with you, there... They're there...
JUDGE:
How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit!
TODD:
With fellow taste - in women, at least.
JUDGE:
What? What's that?
TODD:
Oh, sir, no doubt the years have changed me.
But then, perhaps,
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...
COMPANY:
Lift your razor high, Sweeney!
Hear it singing, "Yes!"
Sink it in the rosy skin
Of righteousness!
