[00:02.51] Ooh, Mr. Todd!
[00:03.57] I'm so happy!
[00:04.86] I could
[00:05.97] Eat you up, I really could!
[00:07.40] You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd? What I dream
[00:10.77] If the business stays as good?
[00:12.75] Where I'd really like to go,
[00:15.60] In a year or so?
[00:18.61] Don't you want to know?
[00:20.76] TODD: Yes, yes, of course.
[00:22.58] LOVETT: Do you really want to know?
[00:24.05] TODD: Yes, I do, I do.
[00:26.70] LOVETT: I've always had this dream...
[00:27.83] Ever since I was a skinny little slip of a thing
[00:29.62] and my rich Aunt Nettie used to take me down to the seaside on August Bank Holiday...
[00:33.33] The pier... Makin' little castles in the sand...
[00:39.48] Ooh, I can still feel me toes wigglin' around in the briney!
[00:42.94] By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet,
[00:45.80] By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you'd love it!
[00:49.17] You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
[00:52.22] In a house wot we'd almost own,
[00:55.41] Down by the sea!
[00:57.25] TODD: Anything you say...
[00:58.68] Wouldn't that be smashing?
[01:01.53] With the sea at our gate, we'll have kippered herring
[01:05.56] Wot have swum to us straight from the Straits of Bering!
[01:08.71] Ev'ry night, in the kip, when we're through our kippers,
[01:11.77] I'll be there slippin' off your slippers!
[01:14.36] By the sea,
[01:17.21] With the fishies splashing!
[01:20.92] By the sea!
[01:23.93] Wouldn't that be smashing?
[01:27.34] Down by the sea,
[01:29.31] TODD: Anything you say, anything you say...
[01:34.50] I can see us wakin,' the breakers breakin,'
[01:37.57] The seagulls squawkin,'
[01:39.30]
[01:40.83] I do me bakin,' then I go walkin' with you-hoo!
[01:45.72]
[01:47.10] I'll warm me bones on the esplanade,
[01:50.16] Have tea and scones with me gay young blade,
[01:53.31] Then I'll knit a sweater while you write a letter
[01:56.38] Unless we've got better to do-hoo!
[01:59.98] TODD: Anything you say...
[02:03.03] Think how snug it'll be underneath our flannel
[02:05.88] When it's just you and me and the English Channel!
[02:09.14] In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy,
[02:12.35] We'll have chums over ev'ry Friday!
[02:15.30] By the sea!
[02:17.80] Don'tcha love the weather?
[02:21.25] By the sea!
[02:24.27] We'll grow old together!
[02:28.04] By the seaside,
[02:30.17] Hoo, hoo! By the beautiful sea!
[02:35.69] Oh, I can see us now, in our bathing dresses!
[02:38.29] You in a nice, rich navy, and me... stripes, perhaps.
[02:44.50] It'll be so quiet,
[02:46.18] That who'll come by it,
[02:47.81] Except a seagull
[02:49.49]
[02:50.97] We shouldn't try it,
[02:52.49] Though, 'til it's legal for two-hoo!
[02:55.69] But a seaside wedding could be devised,
[03:00.43] Me rumpled bedding legitimized!
[03:03.74] Me eyelids'll flutter,
[03:05.01] I'll turn into butter,
[03:07.09] The moment I mutter I do-hoo!
[03:13.21] By the sea, in our nest, we could share our kippers
[03:16.22] With the odd payin' guest from the weekend trippers,
[03:19.43] Have a nice sunny suite for the guest to rest in,
[03:22.84] Now and then, you could do the guest in!
[03:25.23] By the sea,
[03:27.88] Married nice and proper!
[03:31.44] By the sea,
[03:34.54] Bring along your chopper!
[03:37.86] To the seaside,
[03:40.20] Hoo, hoo! By the beautiful sea!
[03:46.02] Come on dear, give us a kiss,
[03:51.37] Oh, that was lovely.
