Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street | Lyrics

By the Sea

[LOVETT]
(She kisses Todd)
Ooh, Mr. Todd! (kiss)
I'm so happy! (kiss)
I could (kiss)
Eat you up, I really could!
You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd?
(kiss)
What I dream (kiss)
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, spoken]
Of course

[LOVETT]
Do you really want to know?

[TODD, spoken]
Yes. I do

[LOVETT]
By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I
covet
By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, 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?

[LOVETT]
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 ev'ry Friday!
By the sea!
Don'tcha love the weather?
By the sea!
We'll grow old together!
By the seaside
Woahh
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, 'til it's legal for two-hoo!
But a seaside wedding could be devised
Me rumpled bedding legitimized!
Me eyelids'll flutter
I'll turn into butter
The moment I mutter I do-hoo!

Down by the sea
Married nice and proper
By the sea
Bring along your chopper
To the seaside hoo hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
