- Anthony: "Mr. Todd, Mr. Todd! I found her, I found Johanna!"
Todd: "You have?"
Anthony: "That monster of a judge has her locked away in Fogg's Asylum!"
Anthony: "Oh, Mr. Todd! She is in there with those screeching, gibbering maniacs!"
Todd: "A madhouse? A madhouse!"
Todd: "Johanna is as good as rescued!"
Anthony: "She is?"
Todd: "Where do you suppose all the wigmakers of London go to obtain their human hair?"
Anthony: "Where?"
Todd: "Bedlam! They get their hair from the lunatics at Bedlam!"
Todd: "For the right amount, they'll sell you any hair off any madman's head."
Todd: "Come, we'll write a letter, arranging a visit and offering to this Mr. Fogg"
Todd: "The highest price for hair of the exact shade of Johanna's! Which I trust you know?"
Anthony: "Yellow?"
Todd: "No! That's not exact enough!"
Todd: "I must make you into a credible wigmaker! And quickly!"
There's tawny, and there's golden saffron
There's flaxen, and there's blonde
Todd: "Repeat that! Repeat that!"
Anthony: "Yes, Mr. Todd!"
Todd: "Well?"
(There's tawny, and there's golden saffron)
(There's flaxen and there's blonde)
Todd: "Good!"
There's coarse and fine, there's straight and curly
There's grey, there's white, there's ash, there's pearly
Sweeney'd waited too long before
Ah, but never again, he swore
Fortune arrived, "Sweeney" it sang
Sweeney was ready and Sweeney sprang
Sweeney's problems went up in smoke
All resolved with a single stroke
Sweeney was sharp, Sweeney was burning
Sweeney began the engines turning
Sweeney's problems went up in smoke (Sweeney didn't wait)
All resolved with a single stroke (Not Sweeney!)
With a sing stroke (Set the bait)
By Sweeney (Did Sweeney)
Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney!
(With finer texture, ash looks fairer)
(Which makes it rare, but flaxen's rarer)
No, no! The flaxen's cheaper!
(Flaxen's cheaper, not rarer)
Todd: "Now off with you, off!"
Todd: "But Anthony, listen to me once again, when you have rescued her bring her back here!"
Todd: "I shall guard her while you hire the chase to Plymouth."
Anthony: "We'll be with you before the evening's out!"
Todd: "Good!"
Anthony: "Thank you, Mr. Todd! Thank you!"
Most honorable Judge Turpin
Most honorable
Honorable
I venture thus to write you this
Urgent
Note to warn you
That the hot blooded
Young
Sailor
Has abducted your ward Johanna
Johanna
Johanna
From the institution where you
So wisely
Confined her
But, hoping to earn your favor
I have persuaded the boy lodge her here tonight
At my tonsorial parlor
In Fleet Street
If you want her again in your arms
Hurry
After the night falls
She will be waiting
Waiting
Your obedient humble servant
Sweeney Todd
