"Final Scene" Lyrics

Mrs. Lovett: Toby!
Where are you, love?

-[whisper]- "Where is he?"

Nothing's gonna harm you--
Not while I'm around

Sweeney Todd: "Toby?" , "Toby?"

Mrs. Lovett: Nothing's gonna harm you, darlin'
Not while I'm around

Sweeney Todd: "Toby?",

[Instrumental]

Anthony Hope: "Mr. Todd!
You wait for him here. I'll return with the coach in less
than half an hour. Don't worry, no one will recognize you.
You're safe now."

Johanna: "Safe? So we run away and then all our dreams come true?"

Anthony Hope: "I hope so."

Johanna: "I've never had dreams. Only nightmares."

Anthony Hope: "Johanna, when we're free of this place, all the ghosts will go away."

Johanna: "No, Anthony. They never go away."

Anthony Hope: "I'll be right back to you. Half an hour and we'll be free."

[Instrumental]

Beggar Woman: Beadle!, Beadle!,
No good hidin', I saw you!
Are you in there still?
Beadle!, Beadle!,
Beadle, dear, Beadle,

[Brief Instrumental]

Beggar Woman: Beadle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-dumpling
Beadle, dumpling, Be-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-
deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle,!

Sweeney Todd: "Who are you? What are you doing in here!?"

Beggar Woman: "Evil this is, sir. The stink of evil--from below--from her!
She's the devil's wife! Beware her, sir. She with no pity
in her heart."

Hey-- don't I know you, mister?

Judge Turpin: "Mr. Todd?"

[Dramatic Instrumental]

Judge Turpin: "Where is she?"

Sweeney Todd: "Below, your honor. With my neighbour. Thank heavens
the sailor did not molest her. Thank heavens too, she has
seen the error of her ways."

Judge Turpin: "She has?"

Sweeney Todd: "Oh yes, your lesson was well learned.
She speaks only of you, longing for forgiveness"

Judge Turpin: "Then she shall have it.
She'll be here soon, you say?"

Sweeney Todd: "Yes."

Judge Turpin: "Excellent, my friend."

Sweeney Todd: "How 'bout a shave? Sit, sir, sit."

Judge Turpin: Ah, pretty women

Sweeney Todd: Pretty women, yes

Judge Turpin: Johanna, Johanna,

Sweeney Todd: Pretty women
Pretty women are a wonder
Pretty women

Judge Turpin: What we do for women!

Sweeney Todd: Pretty women
Blowing out their,

Judge Turpin: Blowing out their

BOTH: Candles

Sweeney Todd: Or-- combing out their,

Judge Turpin: Combing out their

BOTH: Hair

Judge Turpin: Then they leave

Sweeney Todd: Even when they leave,

[Simultaneously:]

Judge Turpin: Even when they leave you and vanish
They somehow can still remain
There with you
There

Sweeney Todd: They still
Are there
They're there

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

Sweeney Todd: "With fellow tastes-- in women, at least."

Judge Turpin: "What's that?"

Sweeney Todd: "The 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 Turpin: "Benjamin Barker!"

Sweeney Todd: "BENJAMIN BARKER!!!"

[Dramatic Instrumental]

Sweeney Todd: Rest now, my friend
Rest now - forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels,

[Instrumental]

Sweeney Todd: "'Don't I know you?' she said.
,You knew she lived."

Mrs. Lovett: "I was only thinkin' of you!"

Sweeney Todd: "You lied to me."

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

Sweeney Todd: Lucy,

Mrs. Lovett: Said she took the poison-- she did
Never said that she died

Sweeney Todd: I've come home again...

Mrs. Lovett: Poor thing!
She lived but it left her weak in the head
All she did for months was just lie there in bed--

Sweeney Todd: Lucy,

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

Sweeney Todd: Oh, my God,

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

Sweeney Todd: Lucy,

Mrs. Lovett: I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!

Sweeney Todd: What have I done!?,

Mrs. Lovett: Could that thing have cared for you like me?

Sweeney Todd: Mrs. Lovett
You're a bloody wonder
Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate as always
As you've said repeatedly
There's little point in dwelling on the past!

[Simultaneously:]

Sweeney Todd: Now come here, my love,
Not a thing to fear, my love,
What's dead, is dead!

Mrs. Lovett: Do you mean it?
Everything I did
I swear I thought was only for the best
Believe me!
Can we
Still be
Married?

Sweeney Todd: The history of the world, my pet--

Mrs. Lovett: Oh, Mr. Todd
Oh, Mr. Todd
Leave it to me...

Sweeney Todd: Is learn forgiveness and try to forget

Mrs. Lovett: By the sea, Mr. Todd, we'll be comfy-cosy
By the sea, Mr. Todd, where there's no one nosy

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

BOTH: Just keep living it!
Really living it--

Mrs. Lovett: AARRGHHHH!!
AARRGHHHHHHH!!
AARRGHHHHHHHHH!!

[Dramatic Instrumental]

Sweeney Todd: 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 was beautiful
And she was virtuous
And he was--
