The Judge's Return [2023 Broadway Cast Recording]
Where is she? Where is the girl?
Below, your honor
In the care of my neighbor, Mrs. Lovett
Thank heavens the sailor did not molest her
Thank heavens, too, she has seen the error of her ways
She has?
Oh yes, your lesson was well learned, sir
She speaks only of you, longing for your forgiveness
And she shall have it
She'll be here soon, you say?
I think I hear her now
Oh, excellent, my friend!
Is that her dainty footstep on the stair?
I hear nothing
Yes, isn't that her shadow on the wall?
Where?
There!
Primping
Making herself even prettier than usual
Even prettier
If possible
Oh, pretty women!
Pretty women
Yes, sir
Quickly, sir, a splash of bay rum!
Sit, sir, sit
Johanna, Johanna
Pretty women
Hurry, man!
Pretty women are a wonder (you're in a merry mood again today, barber)
Yes, sir
Pretty women!
What we do for
Pretty women!
Blowing out their candles or
Combing out their hair
Then they leave
Even when they leave you (even when they leave)
And vanish, they somehow (they still)
Can still remain (are)
There with you (there)
There (they're there)
How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit!
With fellow tastes in women, at least
What? What's that?
The years no doubt have changed me, sir
But then, I suppose, the face of a barber
The face of a prisoner in the dock is not particularly memorable
Benjamin Barker!
Benjamin Barker!
Rest now, my friend
Rest now forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels
Tobias!
Lift your razor high, Sweeney!
Hear it singing, "Yes!"
Sink it in the rosy skin
Of righteousness!
Die! Die! God in heaven, die! You!
Can it be? Have all the demons of hell come to torment me?
Quick, to the oven
Why did you scream? Does the Judge still live?
Ah, he was clutching, holding on to my skirt, but n-now he's finished
Leave them to me, open the doors
No!
Open the doors, I said!
No! No! Don't touch her!
What's the matter with you? It's only some meddling old beggar wo-
