 By the Sea
By the Sea
MRS LOVETT
Oh Mr Todd, I'm so happy
I could eat you up, I really could
You know what I'd like to do, Mr Todd?
What I dream if the business stays as good?
Where I'd really like to go in a year or so?
Don't you want to know?
SWEENEY TODD
Of course
MRS LOVETT
Do you really want to know?
SWEENEY TODD
Yes, I do
MRS LOVETT
By the sea, Mr Todd, that's the life I covet
By the sea, Mr Todd, oh I know you'd love it
You and me, Mr T, we could be alone
In a house what we'd almost own, down by the sea
SWEENEY TODD
Anything you say
MRS LOVETT
Wouldn't that be smashing?
Think how snug it'll be underneath our flannel
When it's just you and me and the English Channel
In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy
We'll have chums over every Friday
By the sea, don't you love the weather?
By the sea, we'll grow old together
By the seaside, oh-oh, by the beautiful sea
It'll be so quiet that who'll come by it
Except a seagull, oh oh
We shouldn't try it, though til it's legal for two
But a seaside wedding could be devised
Me rumpled bedding legitimized
Me eyelids'll flutter, I'll turn into butter
The moment I mutter I do-ooh
Down by the sea, married nice and proper
By the sea, bring along your chopper
To the seaside, oh-oh, by the beautiful sea...
Sweeney Todd
