[00:16.90] There was a barber and his wife,
[00:20.70] And he was beautiful,
[00:24.38] A proper artist with a knife,
[00:27.69] But they transported him for life.
[00:31.17] And he was beautiful...
[00:34.38]
[00:46.39] He had this wife, ya see.
[00:49.06] Pretty little thing,
[00:50.32] silly little nit.
[00:51.27] Had her chance for the moon on a string...
[00:55.64] Poor thing
[00:59.22] Poor thing
[01:02.86] There was this Judge, you see,
[01:05.56] Wanted her like mad,
[01:06.83] Every day he’d send her a flower,
[01:10.27] But did she come down from her tower?
[01:13.59] Sat up there and sobbed by the hour,
[01:17.05] Poor fool.
[01:19.16] Ah, but there was worse yet to come,
[01:21.08] Poor thing.
[01:29.31] The Beadle calls on her, all polite,
[01:32.63] Poor thing, poor thing.
[01:35.94] The Judge, he tells her, is all contrite,
[01:39.11] He blames himself for her dreadful plight
[01:42.56] She must come straight to his house tonight!
[01:45.60] Poor thing, poor thing.
[01:53.58] Of course, when she goes there,
[01:55.20] Poor thing, poor thing,
[01:56.71] They're having this ball all in masks.
[01:59.75] There's no one she knows there,
[02:02.35] Poor dear, poor thing,
[02:03.06] She wanders tormented, and drinks,
[02:05.63] Poor thing.
[02:06.00] The Judge has repented, she thinks,
[02:08.02] Poor thing.
[02:09.02] “Oh, where is Judge Turpin?” she asks.
[02:13.56] He was there, all right--
[02:14.87] Only not so contrite!
[02:19.54] She wasn’t no match for such craft, you see,
[02:22.62] And everyone thought it so droll.
[02:25.64] They figured she had to be daft, you see,
[02:28.49] So all of ‘em stood there and laughed, you see,
[02:31.56] Poor soul!
[02:34.40] Poor thing!
[02:35.68]
[02:47.96] NOOOOOOOO...
[02:50.28] Would no one have mercy on her?
[02:54.54] So it is you -- Benjamin Barker.
[02:57.14] No, not Barker.
[03:00.84] That man is dead.
[03:02.53] It's Todd now.
[03:04.46] Sweeney Todd ...
[03:06.11] And he will have his revenge.
