Poor Thing
You've a room up this shop, don't you? Times so hard why din't you rent it out?
(Mrs. Lovett) People think it's haunted
(Sweeney) Haunted?
(Mrs. Lovett) Yeah You see, years ago something happened up there, something not very nice
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
Barker his name was, Benjamin Barker
(Sweeney) What was his crime?
(Mrs. Lovett) Foolishness
He has this wife, you see Pretty little thing, silly little nit Had her chance for the moon on a string Poor thing, poor thing
There was this judge, you see Wanted her like mad, everyday sent her a flower Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But this she come down from her tower? Sat up there and sobbed by the hour, poor fool Ah, but there was yet worse to come, poor thing
Well beadle call on her all polite, poor thing, poor thing The judge, he tells her, is al contrite He blames himself for her dreadful plight She must come straight to his house tonight, poor thing, poor thing
Of couse when she goes there, poor thing, poor thing, they're having this ball all in mask There's no one she knows there, poor dear, poor thing She wanders tormented and drinks, poor thing 'The judge has repented', she thinks, poor thing 'Oh, where is Judge Turpin?', she asks He was there, all right, only not so contrite She wasn't no match for such craft, you see And everyone thought it's so droll They figured she had to be daft, you see So all of them stood there and laughed, you see Poor soul! Poor thing! (Sweeney) NO! Would no one have mercy on her? (Mrs. Todd) So it's you... Benjamin Barker (Sweeney) No. No Barker. That man is dead. It's Tood now. Sweeney Todd. And he will have his reveange.
