All this running and shouting.

What is it now, dear?

I had him and then...

The sailor busted in.

I saw them both running down the street

and said to myself: "The fat's in the

fire, for sure!"

I had him!

His throat was bare

Beneath my hand !

There, there, dear. Don't fret.

No, I had him!

His throat was there,

And he'll never come again!

Easy now.

Hush, love, hush.

I keep telling you

When?

What's your rush?

Why did I wait?

You told me to wait!

Now he'll never come again!

There's a hole in the world

Like a great black pit

And it's filled with people

Who are filled with s t

And the vermin of the world

Inhabit it

But not for long!

They all deserve to die!

Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett,

Tell you why:

Because in all of the whole human race,

Mrs. Lovett,

There are two kinds of men and only two.

There's the one staying put

In his proper place

And the one with his foot

In the other one's face

Look at me, Mrs. Lovett,

Look at you!

No, we all deserve to die!

Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett

Tell you why:

Because the lives of the wicked should

be

Made brief

For the rest of us, death

Will be a relief

We all deserve to die!

And I'll never see Johanna,

No, I'll never hug my girl to me

Finished!

All right! You, sir,

How about at shave?

Come and visit

Your good friend Sweeney !

You, sir, too, sir

Welcome to the grave!

I will have vengeance,

I will have salvation!

Who, sir? You, sir?

No one's in the chair

Come on, come on,

Sweeney's waiting!

I want you bleeders!

You, sir anybody!

Gentlemen, now don't be shy!

Not one man, no,

Nor ten men,

Nor a hundred

Can assuage me

I will have you!

And I will get him back

Even as he gloats.

In the meantime I'll practice

On less honorable throats.

And my Lucy lies in ashes

And I'll never see my girl again,

But the work waits,

I'm alive at last

And I'm full of joy!
