Text Písně: No Place Like London - Todd Sweeney

ANTONY:
I have sailed the world
beheld it's wonders
from the dardinells,
to the mountains of Peru,
But there's no place like London!

Sweeney Todd:

No this place like London...

Antony :
Mr. Todd,

Sweeney Todd:
You are young...
Life has been kind to you...
You will learn.

Sweeney Todd :

(zpívá)
There's a whole in the world like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
and its morals aren't worth what a pin can spit
and it goes by the name of London.
At the top of the hole sit the previlaged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo
turning beauty to filth and greed...
I too have sailed the world and seen it's wonders,
for the cruelty of men is as wonderous as Peru
but there's no place like London!


There was a barber and his wife
and she was beautiful...
a foolish barber and his wife.
She was his reason for his life...
and she was beautiful, and she was virtuous.
And he was nieve.
There was another man who saw
that she was beautiful...
A biased vulture of the law
who, with a gesture of his claw
removed the barber from his plate!
And there was nothing but to wait!
And she would fall!
So soft!
So young!
So lost and oh so beautiful!

Antony (říká)

The lady, sir, did she, sir, come?

Sweeney Todd (zpívá)

Ah, that was many years ago...
I doubt if anyone would know.


If you want you may well find me around Fleet Street. I wouldn't wander.
(sung)

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
and it's filled with people who are filled with shit!
And the vermin of the world inhabit it!
