Original Broadway production 1979 Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street the Musical - Ah, Miss Lyrics
ANTHONY: I have sailed the world, Beheld its wonders, From the pearls of Spain To the rubies of Tibet, But not even in London Have I seen such a wonder
Lady look at me look at me miss, oh Look at me please oh Favour me favour me with your glance. Ah, miss, What do you what do you see off There in those trees oh Won't you give won't you give me a chance?
Who would sail to Spain For all it's wonders When in Kearney's Lane Lies the greatest wonder yet?
Ah, miss, Look at you look at you pale and Ivory-skinned oh Look at you looking so sad so queer. Promise Not to retreat to the darkness Back of your window Not 'til you not 'til you look down here
ANTHONY: JOHANNA: Look at Green finch and linnet bird, Me! Nightingale, blackbird, Look at Teach me how to sing. Me! If I cannot fly... Look at me... Let me sing...
BEGGAR WOMAN: Alms!...Alms!... For a miserable woman... Beg your pardon, it's you, sir... Thank yer...thank yer kindly...
ANTHONY: One moment, mother. Perhaps you know whose house this is?
BEGGAR WOMAN: There? That's the great Judge Turpin's house, that is.
ANTHONY: And the young lady who resides there?
BEGGAR WOMAN: Oh, her! That's Johanna, his pretty little ward. But don't you go trespassing there, young man. Not if you value your hide. Tamper there and it's a good whipping for you - or any other youth with mischief on his mind.
Hey! Hoy! Sailor boy! Want it snugly harboured? Open me gate but dock it straight, I see it lists to starboard.
ANTHONY: Off with you! Be off!
