Lyrics
Anthony:I have sailed the world, beheld its wonders
From the Dardanelles,To the mountains of Peru
But there's no place like London!
I feel home again
I could hear the city bells,RIng whatever I would do
Sweeney Todd/Anthony:No, there's no place like London
Anthony:Mr.Todd,sir?
Sweeney Todd:You are young,Life has been kind to you
You will learn
It is here we go our separate ways.
Farewell,Anthony
I shall not soon forget the good ship Bountiful
Nor the young man who saved my life.
Beggar woman:Alms! Alms!
For a miserable woman
On a miserable chilly morning
Oh thank you, sir, thank you...
How would you like a little squiff,dear
A little jig jig,A little bounce around the bush?
Wouldn't you like to push me crumpet?
It looks to me, dear
Like you got plenty there to push
Alms! Alms!
For a pitiful woman
Wot's got wanderin' wits—
Hey, don't I know you, mister?
Sweeney Todd:Must you glare at me, woman? Off with you! Off, I say!
Beggar woman:Then 'ow would you like to split me muff, mister?
We'll go jig jig
Sweeney Todd:Off, I said. To the devil with you!
Beggar woman:Alms! Alms!
For a desperate woman...
Anthony:Pardon me, sir, but there's no need to fear the likes of her.
She was only a half-crazed beggar woman.
London's full of them.
Sweeney Todd:There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it
And it's morals aren't worth what a pig can spit
And it goes by the name of London
At the top of the hole sit a privileged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo
Turning beauty to filth and greed
I too have sailed the world and seen it's wonders
For the cruelty of men is as wondrous as Peru
But there's no place like London
From the Dardanelles,To the mountains of Peru
But there's no place like London!
I feel home again
I could hear the city bells,RIng whatever I would do
Sweeney Todd/Anthony:No, there's no place like London
Anthony:Mr.Todd,sir?
Sweeney Todd:You are young,Life has been kind to you
You will learn
It is here we go our separate ways.
Farewell,Anthony
I shall not soon forget the good ship Bountiful
Nor the young man who saved my life.
Beggar woman:Alms! Alms!
