I had him And then I had him His throat was bare beneath my hand No, I had him His throat was there and he'll never come again When? Why do 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 sh** 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 Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us d**h 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 Alright! You Sir, how about a 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 on 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 a**uage me I will have you And I will get him back even as he gloats In the meantime I'll practice on dishonorable 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
