Sweeney Todd Song Lyrics

By The Sea

Lovett:

Oh Mr. Todd

I'M so happy I could,

Eat you up

I really could.

You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd,

What I dream,

If the business stays as good,

Where I'd really like to go

In a year or so?

Don't you want to know?

Todd:

Of course

Lovett:

Do you really want to know?

Todd:

Yes, I do...

Lovett:

By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet

By the sea, Mr. Todd, oh I know you'd love it

You and me, Mr. T., we could be alone

In a house what we'd almost own

Down by the sea...

Todd:

Anything you say...

Lovett:

Wouldn't that be smashing?

************

Think how snug it'll be underneath our flannel

When it's just you and me and the English Channel

In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy

We'll have chums over every Friday

By the sea..

Don't you love the weather?

By the sea

We'll grow old together..

By the seaside, bah-ah,

By the beautiful sea!

++++++++++

It'll be so quiet that who'll come by it

Except a seagull?

Hoo-hoo

We shouldn't try it, though

'Till it's legal

For two-hoo

++++

But a seaside wedding could be devised

Me rumpled bedding legitimized

Me eyelids a-flutter

I'll turn into butter

The moment I mutter..

I do-hoo

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

By the sea

Married nice and proper

By the sea

Bring along your chopper

To the seaside bah-ah

By the beautiful sea!
