(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, ooh, 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 ?

(Mrs Lovett)
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 ev’ry Friday.
By the sea.
Don’tcha love the weather ?
By the sea.
We’ll grow old together.
By the seaside.
Woahh.
By the beautiful sea.

It’ll be so quiet.
That who’ll come by it.
Except a seagull.
Hoo, hoo.
We shouldn’t try it.
Though, ’til it’s legal for two-hoo.
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-hoo.

Down by the sea.
Married nice and proper.
By the sea.
Bring along your chopper.
To the seaside hoo hoo.
By the beautiful sea.
