(Mrs Lovett)
It’s not much of a chair but it’ll do.
It was me poor Albert’s chair.
Sit in it all day long he did.
After his leg give out with gout.
(Sweeney Todd)
Why doesn’t the beadle come ?
« Before the week is out ».
That’s what he said.
(Mrs Lovett)
Who says the week’s out ?
It’s only Tuesday.
Easy now, hush, love, hush.
Don’t distress yourself, what’s your rush ?
Keep your thoughts, nice and lush.
Wait.
Hush, love, hush, think it through.
Once it bubbles then what’s to do ?
Watch it close, let it brew.
Wait.
I’ve been thinking flowers, maybe daisies.
To brighten up the room.
Don’t you think some flowers, pretty daisies.
Might relieve the gloom ?
Ah, wait, love, wait.
(Sweeney Todd)
And the judge ?
When will I get to him ?
(Mrs Lovett)
Can’t you think of nothing else ?
Always broodin’ away on your wrongs.
What happened heaven knows how many years ago.
Slow, love, slow, time’s so fast.
Now goes quickly, see, now it’s past.
Soon will come, soon will last.
Wait.
Don’t you know, silly man.
Half the fun is to plan the plan.
All good things come to those who can.
Wait.
Gillyflowers, maybe.
‘Stead of daisies.
I don’t know, though.
What do you think ?
