Poor thing
Johnny Depp
Sweeney Todd: (spoken)
You got a room over the shop, haven't you?
If times are so hard, why don't you rent it out?

Mrs. Lovett:
People think it's haunted

Sweeney Todd:
Haunted?

Mrs. Lovett:
Yeah. And who's to say they're wrong?
You see, years ago something happened up here
Something not very nice.”
(sung)
There was a barber and his wife
And he was beautiful...
A proper artist with a knife
But they transported him for life
And he was beautiful...
(spoken)
Barker his name was
Benjamin Barker
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
What was his crime?

Mrs. Lovett
Foolishness...
He had this wife, ya see
Pretty little thing
Silly little nit
Had her chance for the moon on a string...
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
There was this judge, ya see...
Wanted her like mad!
Everyday he sent her a flower
But did she come down from her tower?
Sat up there and sulked by the hour
Poor fool!
Ah, but there was worse yet to come
Pure thing!
Well, Beadle calls on her all polite
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
The judge, he tells her, is all contrite
He blames himself for her dreadful plight
She must come straight to his house tonight!
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
Of course when she goes there...
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
They're having this ball all in masks
There's no one she knows there!
Poor dear!
Poor thing!
She wonders, tormented and drinks!
Poor thing!
The judge has repented, she thinks
Poor thing!
"Oh where is Judge Turpin?" she asks...
He was there, alright!
Only not so contrite!
She wasn't no match for such craft, ya see
And everyone thought it so drull
They figured she had to be daft, ya see
So all of them stood there and laughed, ya see!
Poor soul!
Poor thing!
Sweeney Todd: (spoken)
NO!
Would no one have mercy on her?

Mrs. Lovett:
So it is you. Benjamin Barker

Sweeney Todd:
No! Not Barker. That man is dead
It's Todd now – Sweeney Todd
And he will have his revenge
