Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) Edit

A barber, my lord, of skill

A customer!

A foolish barber and his wife

A foolish barber and his wife

A left and a right and straight on, you see?

A pious vulture of the law

A pretty little rosebud.

A proper artist with a knife

A sailor must know the ways of the world, yes?

A sailor?

A shave

A sprinkling perhaps of French cologne But first, sir, l think

A stylish trimming of the hair?

A woman alone!

Above my Meat Pie Emporium in Fleet Street.

Adopted her. Like his own.

After his leg gave out with the gout.

All good things come to those who can

All greasy and gritty

All l meant is that l haven't seen a customer for weeks!

All right! You, sir. How about a shave?

All right.

All she did for months was just lie there in bed

All that blood.

All this shouting and running about.

Alms for a desperate woman

Alms for a miserable woman

Alms!

Alms!

Always a few rats gone home to Jesus down there.

Always be sure the door is closed properly, like this.

Always had a fondness for you, I did

An honor to receive your patronage, my lord.

And are you beautiful and pale

And everyone thought it so droll

And he was

And he was beautiful

And he was beautiful

And he will have his revenge.

And he's got your daughter.

And how could l ever forget you, Mr. Barker.

And I will get him back Even as he gloats

And I'll never see my girl again

And I'm full ofjoy!

And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste

And I'm telling you them pussycats is quick

And I've just begun

And if you're beautiful what then with yellow hair, like wheat

And in that darkness when l'm blind With what I can't forget

And it goes by the name of London

And it's filled with people who are filled with shit

And it's filled with people who are filled with shit

And its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit

And l

And l can guarantee to give you, without a penny's charge,

And l say to you that it is nothing but an arrant fraud,

And l was thinking, but for you, l'd be there now.

And l'll never see Johanna

And ladies, my lord, are weak

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

And may the Lord have mercy on your soul.

And musk to enhance the chase my lord

And no wonder with the price of meat what it is

And on the way back,

And one day

And she said she'd leave with me tonight.

And she was beautiful

And she was beautiful

And she was beautiful

And she was beautiful

And she was virtuous

And she was virtuous

And since we're careful to pick and choose,

And tastes like

And the Judge? When'll we get to him?

And the lady, sir, did she succumb?

And the one with his foot ln the other one's face

And the vermin of the world inhabit it

And the vermin of the world inhabit it

And the vermin of the world inhabit it

And the worst pies in London

And the young lady who resides there?

And then l saw them both running down the stairs.

And then, since you're so hot for a little,

And though I'll think of you, I guess Until the day I die

And Turpin is her guardian. He's a judge of some sort.

And we'll do wonders

And we're together

And what happened heaven knows how many years ago.

And while l'm out, do you mind if l stop by the grocerjust to pick...

And who, may it be said Is your intended, sir?

And who's to say they're wrong?

And yet appropriate as always As you've said repeatedly

And yet the Beadle tells me

And you go get us some toffees?

And you'd be beautiful and pale And look too much like her

Another bright red day

Anything that's lean?

Anything what's slick, sir Soon sprouts curls

Anyway, it's clean

Are a wonder

Are we standing in an open trench?

Are you in there still, Beadle? Beadle?

Are your nostrils a quiver and tingling as well

Around Fleet Street, l wouldn't wonder.

Arsenic, from the apothecary around the corner.

As for you, barber,

As many as you like, son.

At last, my arm is complete again.

At that delicate luscious ambrosial smell?

At the top of the hole sit a privileged few

At your bakehouse.

At your service.

Awful lot of fat

Barber?

Barker, his name was. Benjamin Barker.

Beadle deedle deedle deedle deedle dumpling

Beadle dumpling...

Beadle, dear Beadle?

Beadle! Beadle!

Because in all of the whole human race, Mrs. Lovett

Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief

Because you entered into our little wager under false pretenses, my friend.

Before the week is out, that's what he said.

Being close and being clever Ain't like being true

Below, Your Honor. With my neighbor.

Benjamin Barker!

Benjamin Barker?

Benjamin Barker.

Besides, l was thinking of hiring the lad to help me run the shop.

Best barber in London, they say.

Beware her, sir. She with no pity in her heart.

Beyond a repair

Bless my eyes!

Boy drinks like a sailor.

Breathing lightly

Bring a touch of gentility to the place.

Brunettes.

Buried sweetly in your yellow hair

Buried sweetly in your yellow hair

Buried sweetly in your yellow hair

Business needs a lift

Business never better using only pussycats and toast

But a seaside wedding could be devised

But always arrives overdone

But did she come down from her tower?

But first a You gather around, signorini, signori

But first, why don't you come upstairs? Let me pamper you.

But if l know a growing boy, there's still room for more pie, eh?

But in time

But it left her weak in the head

But l do hate to see a boy treated like that.

But l don't know anyone in London, you see.

But l remember these.

But not for long!

But the ungrateful child has broken my heart.

But the work waits!

But then, l suppose the face of a barber,

But then, this morning, she dropped this.

But there was worse yet to come poor thing

But there's no one comes in even to inhale

But there's no place like London

But there's no place like London

But they transported him for life

But we could get by.

But you'd think we had the plague! From the way that people keep avoiding

By God

By the sea Bring along your chopper

By the sea, Mr. Todd Oh, l know you'd love it

By the sea, Mr. Todd That's the life l'll covet

By the sea, Mr. Todd We'll be comfy cozy

By the sea, Mr. Todd Where there's no one nosy

By the seaside By the beautiful sea

Call me Davey.

Can't you think of nothing else? Always brooding away on your wrongs

City on fire

City on fire

City on fire!

Close the door. Get you a nice lovely pie.

Come again tomorrow!

Come and visit your good friend Sweeney.

Come for a shave, have you, lad?

Come in, lad. Come in.

Come in, lad. Come in.

Come in.

Come in.

Come on, love.

Come on.

Come on.

Come with me. We'll get you a nice tumbler of gin, eh?

Come, boy. Come!

Concocted from piss and ink.

Congratulations, Mr. Todd.

Conjure up the treat pies used to be!

Could that thing have cared for you like me?

Could you tell me whose house this is?

Could've sold them, but l didn't.

Course, we're gonna have to stock up on the gin.

Court is adjourned.

Dancing Pretty women!

Dare l offer you something a tad more appropriate

Davey Collin's the name when it's not professional.

Debts to be erased

Demons are prowling everywhere nowadays

Demons will charm you With a smile

Demons'll charm you with a smile For a while

Did you come here for a pie, sir?

Didn't have an inkling, positively eerie

Die! God in heaven, die!

Do forgive me if me head's a little vague

Do they think that walls can hide you?

Do they think that walls can hide you?

Do you hear me?

Do you really want to know?

Do you see these razors?

Do you wake every morning in shame and despair

Does her business but I noticed something weird

Does Pirelli's stimulate the growth, sir?

Don't distress yourself What's your rush?

Don't l know you, mister?

Don't l know you? she said.

Don't suppose he's got any relatives

Don't worry. No one'll recognize you. You're safe now.

Don't you know Silly man

Don't you love the weather by the sea?

Don't you think some flowers Pretty daisies

Don't you think you should leave the boy behind?

Down by the sea Married nice and proper

Dream of the day when l could be a proper barber myself.

E buon giorno, good day! I blow you a kiss!

Easy now Hush, love, hush

Eat them slow 'cause every one's a prize!

Eat them slow 'cause that's the lot and now we've sold it!

Eat them slow and feel the crust How thin she rolled it

Either accept my challenge, or reveal yourself as a sham.

Even harder than the worst pies in London

Even now, I'm at your window

Even now, I'm at your window

Even that's polite The worst pies in London

Even you, Mrs. Lovett Even l

Every night at the vespers bell

Everybody shaves So there should be plenty of flavors

Everyone needs a good shave.

Everything I did, I swear, I thought

Everything you've ever dreamed of doing with a woman.

Everything you've ever dreamed of doing with a woman.

Evil is here, sir.

Excellent, my friend.

Except a seagull?

Excuse me, my lord May I request, my lord

Family secret All to do with herbs

Fascinating Sipping coffee

Fetch the boy.

Fifteen years dreaming l might come home to a wife and child.

Fifteen years.

Finished!

Flies do, too

Fogg's Asylum.

Foolishness.

For a gentleman of your standing?

For a moment there, l thought you'd lost your marbles.

For a while, but in time

For if a you slip You nick the skin

For the cruelty of men is as wondrous as Peru

For the rest of us, death will be a relief

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

Forget my face.

Forgive me if I suggest, my lord

Fresh supplies!

Fret not though, my lord I know a place, my lord

From the Dardanelles To the mountains of Peru

Funny we should be having this little chat right now.

Furthermore, Signor, l have serviced no kings,

Gentlemen, you are about to see something

Get out!

Get out.

Ghosts.

Gillyflowers, maybe 'Stead of daisies

Glancing!

Go to Old Bailey. Find Judge Turpin.

Go, quickly, go!

Good grind.

Good, you got it

Goodbye

Goodbye, Johanna!

Got me from the workhouse. Been there since l was born.

Green finch and linnet bird Nightingale, blackbird

Green finch and linnet bird Nightingale, blackbird

Had her chance for the moon on a string

Had, has

Half a minute, can't you sit? Sit you down. Sit!

Half me earnings.

Half the fun is to plan the plan?

Hang on.

Hang on.

Happily I was mistaken, Johanna

Have charity towards the world, my pet

Have to hand it to her What I calls enterprise

Haven't you got poet or something like that?

He blames himself for her dreadful plight

He certainly does.

He didn't have your nice head of hair, though.

He had this wife, you see

He recognized me from the old days. Tried to blackmail me.

He was clutching onto me dress, but he's finished now.

He was there all right Only not so contrite

He won't be back.

He?

He's a great one for the lashings.

He's been so good to us.

He's here every Thursday. ltalian. All the rage he is.

He's surely done something to warrant a hanging.

Health regulations and the general public welfare

Hear the birdies cheeping Helps to keep it cheery

Heaven knows I try, sir!

Hello?

Hello. What's he doing here?

Help, fiend! City on fire!

Here we are, hot out of the oven.

Here we are. Tuck in.

Here, drink this, you'll need it The worst pies in London

Here.

Here's the politician, so oily It's served with a doily, have one

High born and low, my love

Him?

His name is Todd, my lord, and he is the very last word in barbering.

His throat was bare beneath my hand

His throat was there And he'll never come again!

Hold it!

Home

How about a bottle, mister? Only costs a penny, guaranteed

How about a shave?

How about l give you a nice shiny new penny

How can you jubilate Sitting in cages

How can you remain Staring at the rain

How could you think such a thing of Mr. Todd?

How gratifying for once to know

How he smiles in the light

How is it you sing anything?

How is it you sing?

How is it you sing?

How long till Pirelli gets back?

How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit.

Hush, darling, there's no need for this.

Hush, love, hush Think it through

I am in the dark beside you

I am in the dark beside you

I can do it, put me to it Show me something l can overcome

I could eat you up, I really could

I don't know, though What do you think?

I doubt if anyone would know

I feel you

I feel you

I feel you

I feel you

I feel you

I know why nobody cares to take them

I mean, with the price of meat what it is

I still have reason to rejoice The way ahead is clear

I think I miss you less and less As every day goes by

I think we shall not meet again

I will have vengeance

I will have you

I will show you a miracle marvelous rare

I'd want you beautiful and pale

I'd want you beautiful and pale

I'll send them howling, I don't care I got ways

I'll steal you

I'll steal you

I'll steal you

I'll steal you

I'll steal you, Johanna!

I've been thinking flowers Maybe daisies

If I cannot fly

If it's for a price

If only angels could prevail We'd be the way we were

If the business stays as good Where I'd really like to go

If you doubt it, take a bite

In a year or so? Don't you want to know?

In our cozy retreat Kept all neat and tidy

Is an abomination before God and man.

Is learn forgiveness and try to forget

Is like nothing compared to its succulent source

Is that squire on the fire?

Is thatjust disgusting? You have to concede it

Is those below serving those up above

It looks like it's molting

It take a panache It take a the passion for the art

It take a the pace It take a the grace

It was a the Pope!

It'll be so quiet that who'll come by it

It's all too clear what company you keep.

It's always morning in my mind

It's fop Finest in the shop

It's man devouring man, my dear

It's nothing but crusting

It's priest Have a little priest

Johanna

Johanna

Johanna

Johanna

Johanna

Johanna

Johanna

Johanna elope with you?

Johanna,

Johanna, Johanna

Johanna!

Johanna!

Johanna! Where are you taking her? Tell me or l swear l'll...

Judge Turpin?

Judge. Always harping on the bloody old judge.

Just beyond the bars

Just inside of this door!

Just like an elixir ought to do

Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick

Keep it off your boots, sir Eats right through

Keep the boy downstairs.

Keep your thoughts Nice and lush

Keeps her snug, he does. All locked up.

L am Adolfo Pirelli

L am Mr. Sweeney Todd of Fleet Street.

L beg your indulgence, Anthony.

L completely understand.

L do.

L don't need to, l won't never Hide a thing from you

L feel

L feel bad for you, going up and down all these stairs.

L got him locked in. But if he escapes, he'll go to the law.

L had him!

L have decided to marry my dear Johanna.

L have news for you, my friend.

L have opened a bottle of Pirelli's Elixir.

L have sailed the world Beheld its wonders

L have them all here. Drawings of them.

L hope so.

L keep the blondes in here.

L know, l know

L lay them against £5.

L like to see a man with a healthy appetite.

L really ought to see to my official obligations first.

L should know, l make them But good? No!

L thank you, sir.

L therefore sentence you to hang by the neck until you're dead.

L think not.

L think that only appropriate

L think there's been some mistake.

L told myself the sailor was lying,

L too have sailed the world and seen its wonders

L used to sit right here.

L was half convinced l'd waken

L was just a little nip that you hired for a couple of weeks,

L was only thinking of you.

L went by the workhouse, just to take a look.

L will have salvation

L'd be forever in your debt.

L'd like me five quid back, if you don't mind.

L'd like to thank you, Anthony.

L'll be right back to you. Half an hour and we'll be free.

L'll be taking half your profits from herewith.

L'll come again when you have judge on the menu.

L'll make sure that neither you

L'll return with a coach in less than half an hour.

L'll take care of it. Open the door.

L'm afraid l'm gonna have to take a look

L'm alive at last!

L'm fine, Johanna

L'm just gonna pop upstairs, back in two shakes, all right?

L've circled the place a dozen times. There's no way in. lt's a fortress.

L've never had dreams. Only nightmares.

L've sweated in a living hell on a false charge.

Ladies and gentlemen May I have your attention, please?

Ladies and gentlemen May I have your attention, please?

Ladies and gentlemen You can't imagine the rapture in store

Larks never will, you know When they're captive

Lately all her neighbors' cats have disappeared

Lawyer's rather nice.

Leave me.

Leave you and vanish...

Let me out! Please, let me out!

Let me sing

Lf he's late, he'll blame me!

Lf l could keep her here just for an hour or two,

Lf l see your face again on this street, you'll rue the day you were born.

Lf you get my drift.

Lf you hadn't spotted me, l'd be lost on the ocean still.

Lf you'll indulge me, sir, what is that exotic aroma?

Life is for the alive, my dear.

Like me, my friend

Like some

Liked to gorge himself to bloatation, he did.

Listen to me, please.

Little things that l've been thinking about Mr. Todd.

Ln order to shield her from the evils of this world,

Ln the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats

Ln these once familiar streets l feel shadows everywhere.

Lndeed he does, but l see no lady.

Look at me, Mrs. Lovett, look at you!

Looks thicker More like vicar

Love, wait

Lsn't this homey, now?

Lt take a da will To take a the pains

Lt take a the skill lt take a the brains

Lt was me poor Albert's chair. Sit in it all day long he did,

Lt was only partly singed when the chapel burned down.

Lt was yellow hair you was looking for, sir?

Lt would be to our mutual interest

Lt's embarrassing for a sailor to lose his bearings, but there you are.

Lt's not much of a chair, but it'll do.

Lt's Todd now. Sweeney Todd.

Lt's very large on the map, but l keep getting lost.

Maddened by the stars?

Make haste, and if we wed You'll be commended, sir

Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo

Mark me.

May l ask you, sir, do you have your own establishment?

May the good Lord smile on you.

Maybe not like l dreamed.

Maybe not like you remember.

Me eyelids'll flutter, I'll turn into butter The moment l mutter l do!

Me rumpled bedding legitimized

Me secret, is a touch of ambergris.

Men'd think it was a treat Finding poor animals

Mercy no, sir, look closer You'll notice it's grocer

Might relieve the gloom?

Mind you, I can hardly blame them

Mischief! Mischief! Mischief!

Mischief. Mischief.

Money coming in regular like.

More than love, sir

Move on, now!

Mr. Benjamin Barker.

Mr. Sweeney, whoever I beg a you pardon

Mr. T, you didn't.

Mr. T?

Mr. Todd sent me on an errand.

Mr. Todd, I'm so happy

Mr. Todd, there's a girl who needs my help.

Mr. Todd!

Mr. Todd! l've seen Johanna

Mr. Todd?

Mr. Todd?

Mr. Todd?

Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived without you All these years I'll never know!

Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion Eminently practical

Mrs. Lovett, you're a bloody wonder Eminently practical

Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop

Much as l do appreciate tonsorial doormen

Must be practiced in the ways of the world.

Must be standing near an open trench!

My cage has many rooms Damask and dark

My elixir is piss

My faithful friend

My friend

My friend

My little dove, my sweet Johanna

My little lamb, my pet, Johanna

My lord

My lucky friends

My mind is far from easy.

My ward

My, my, my. Always work to be done.

Naturally being my duty,

Never taking wing?

Next time, it'll be your pretty little brains all over the pavement.

Nice to see you, dearie How have you been keeping?

No denying times is hard, sir!

No denying times is hard, sir!

No good hiding, I saw you

No matter. Come.

No one's gonna hurt you No one's gonna dare

No, Anthony. They never go away.

No, I'll never hug my girl to me

No, it has to be grocer It's green

No, it's not. Just something Mr. T gave me for my birthday.

No, l...

No, no, not lied at all No, l never lied

No, please!

No, sir. l should stay here, or it'll be a lashing.

No, the clergy is really Too coarse and too mealy

No, there's no place like London

No, we all deserve to die

No, we'll serve anyone

No, you don't.

No, you see the trouble with poet is how do you know it's deceased?

No!

No!

No. Not Barker.

No. You're not to stop, you're not to speak.

Nope!

Nor a hundred can assuage me

Nor any other man shall ever set eyes on her again.

Nor it can't be traced

Not another word, Mr. Fogg, or it will be your last.

Not my intention, good madam. l assure you.

Not one man, no, nor ten men

Not that you'd want to sleep in that place, ma'am.

Not to worry, ma'am

Not to worry, not to worry I may not be smart, but I ain't dumb

Not while l'm around

Not while l'm around

Not while l'm around

Not while l'm around

Not with the things what happen in the dark.

Nothing can harm you

Nothing there sings Not even my lark

Nothing to be afraid of, love.

Nothing, sir. Nothing. May we proceed?

Nothing's gonna harm you

Nothing's gonna harm you

Nothing's gonna harm you No, sir, not while l'm around

Nothing's gonna harm you Not while l'm around

Nothing's gonna harm you Not while l'm around

Nothing's gonna harm you, darling

Nothing's gonna harm you, darling Not while l'm around

Notjust a the flash

Now a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most

Now goes quickly See, now it's past

Now then, my friend

Now to your purpose

Now, l leave you to the mercy of your children.

Now, Mr. T, surely one's enough for today.

Now, please, you will see how he will a regret a his a folly.

Now, signorini, signori We mix a the lather

Now, this'll be the bake oven. Three dozen at a time.

Now, Toby, dear, haven't we had enough of this foolish chatter?

Now, we got a body moldering away upstairs.

Now, what do you intend we should do about that, then?

Now, what is all this foolishness? What are you talking about?

Now, where shall l cut?

Of course, sir.

Of course, when she goes there Poor thing, poor thing

Of course.

Oh, God! He's got an appointment with his tailor!

Oh, l'm sorry, excuse me.

Oh, look, Johanna! A star!

Oh, look, Johanna! A star!

Oh, love, l feel quite the same way.

Oh, Mr. Todd

Oh, Mr. Todd, oh, Mr. Todd Leave it to me

Oh, thank you. Thank you, thank you, my friend.

Oh, that was many years ago

Oh, that's Johanna, his pretty little ward.

Oh, we don't need to worry about him. He's a simple thing.

Oh, well, it's a different matter then.

Oh, well.

Oh, well. Let him bring her here.

Oh, where is Judge Turpin? she asks

Oh, yeah. Course we could do that.

On a miserable chilly morning

On the top of my head!

Once he goes to court, l'm going to slip into the house,

Once it bubbles Then what's to do?

Only lard and nothing more Is thatjust revolting

Only take a moment.

Only where it sat

Only you didn't know it.

Open the door, l said.

Or any other young man with mischief on his mind.

Or even a part Without it a smart

Or should l run down the street to me old pal, Beadle Bamford?

Or someplace worse.

Or we have some shepherd's pie peppered with actual shepherd on top

Order something else, though, to follow Since no one should swallow it twice

Others can desert you Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there

Outside the sky waits Beckoning, beckoning

Pardon me, ma'am what's that awful stench?

Pardon me, sir what's that awful stench?

Patience, enjoy it

People think it's haunted.

Perhaps l am a little overhasty in the mornings.

Perhaps we shall meet again.

Permission, my lord, to speak?

Plying his trade upstairs.

Poor bugger.

Poor fool

Poor little Johanna.

Poor soul

Poor thing

Poor thing, poor thing

Poor thing...

Pop in the meat. Give it a good grind.

Popping pussies into pies

Pops out there.

Pretty as her mother?

Pretty little thing, silly little nit

Pretty women

Pretty women

Pretty women

Pretty women

Pretty women Pretty women are a wonder

Pretty women!

Put it on a bun

Quick, now!

Quick, sir, run and tell Warn them all of the witch's spell

Quite a stink, ain't there?

Ready!

Ready?

Ready.

Redheads.

Release her and beg her to come away with me tonight.

Reminds me of my dear Albert.

Removed the barber from his plate

Require the grace Require the flair

Require the heart

Rest now forever

Rest now, my friend

Rest now, my friends

Revenge can't be taken in haste

Right you are, sir would you like a drop of ale?

Rub a minute Stimulating, isn't it?

Rubies

Safe? So, we run away and then all our dreams come true?

Sat up there and sobbed by the hour

Satisfied enough to dream you

Save a lot of graves Do a lot of relatives favors

Savory and sweet pies As you'll see

Say, if there were someone around,

See how they glisten

See this one shine

Seems a downright shame

Seems an awful waste

Seems an awful waste

Seems like the Fates are favoring you at last, Mr. T.

Seems like the good Lord sent you for me.

Send him up.

Service them well and hold their custom,

Shadows?

Shame?

Share and share alike.

She bows to your every will

She did, never said that she died

She had yellow hair.

She must come straight to his house tonight

She poisoned herself.

She speaks only of you. Longing for forgiveness.

She wanders tormented and drinks Poor thing

She was his reason and his life

She was his reason and his life

Should've been in hospital

Signor Pirelli's been called away. Better run after him.

Signor! You got an appointment!

Signora, is Mr. Todd at home?

Silhouetted

Silver. Yes.

Silver's good enough for me

Since you no longer find my company to your liking.

Sir

Sir, a gentleman knocks before entering a lady's room.

Sir, happy news indeed.
