Thank ya, sir thank ya
Antony (spoken)
Mam, could anda tell me who’s house this is?
Beggar Woman (spoken)
That? That's the great Judge Turpin's house, that is.
Antony (spoken)
And the young lady who resides there?
Beggar Woman (spoken)
Oh her? That' Johanna, his pretty little ward...
Keeps her snug he does. All locked up.
So don't anda go trespassin' there atau it’s a good whipping for you
atau any other young man with mischief on his mind!
(sung)
How would ya like a little muff dear
A little jig jig. A little bounce around the bush.
Wouldja like to push me parsley? It looks to me dear that anda got plenty there to push.
Alms! Alms! For a desperate woman!

Johanna:
Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it anda sing?
How can anda jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can anda remain
staring at the rain
maddened oleh the stars?
How is it anda sing
anything?
How is it anda sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it anda sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing atau merely aloaming?
Are anda discussing?
atau fussing?
atau simply dreaming?
Are anda crowing?
Are anda screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
bernyanyi to be sold?
Have anda decided it's safer in cages
bernyanyi when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, anda know,
when they're captive.
Teach me to be more
adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.

GREEN PIES AND HAM
Sweeney: That Judge must die!
That Judge must die!
I really think
that Judge must die!
Mrs. Lovett: Would anda like
a nice meat pie?
Sweeney: I do not want
your awful pie,
I have to get
the Judge to die!
Mrs. Lovett: Would anda like one
oleh the sea?
Sweeney: I would not like one
oleh the sea.
Now, please, strange woman,
leave me be!
I do not like
your lousy pie.
Now let me plot:
The Judge must die!
Mrs. Lovett: Would anda live
above my shop?
I kept your razors
and your strop!
Sweeney: All right. I'll live
above your shop.
I'll use my razors
and my strop.
I'll slit their throats,
then they will die.
We'll turn my patrons
Into pie!
