Sweeney Todd Movie Cast No Place Like London Lyrics

-Antony
I have sailed the world
beheld its wonders
from the Dardinells,
to the mountains of Peru,
But there's no place like London!

-Sweeney Todd
No place like London...

-Antony (spoken)
Mr. Todd, sir

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

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 its wonders,
for the cruelty of men is as wonderous as Peru
but there's no place like London!

-Antony
Is everything alright Mr. Todd?

-Sweeney Todd
I beg your indulgance, boy, my mind is far from easy.
For in the once familiar streets I feel a chill of ghostly shadows everywhere.
Forgive me.

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 (spoken)
The lady, sir, did she, sir, come?

-Sweeney Todd (sung)
Ah, that was many years ago...
I doubt if anyone would know.
(spoken)
I'd like to thank you Antony
If you hadn't spotted me,
I'd be lost in the ocean still

-Antony (spoken)
Will I see you again?

-Sweeney Todd (spoken)
If you want you may well find me around Fleet Street. I wouldn't wander.

-Antony (spoken)
Until then my friend

-Sweeney Todd (sung)
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
and it's filled with people who are filled with s___!
And the vermin of the world inhabit it!
