By The Sea

(アルバム： Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2023 Broadway Cast Recording) - 2023)

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Ooh, Mr. Todd
I'm so happy
I could eat you up, I really could!
You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd?
What I dream?
If the business stays as good
Where I'd really like to go?
In a year or so...
Don't you want to know?

[SWEENEY TODD:]
Of course

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Do you really want to know?

[SWEENEY TODD:]
Yes, yes, I do, I do

[MRS. LOVETT:]
By the sea, Mr. Todd
That's the life I covet
By the sea, Mr. Todd
Oh, I know you'd love it!
You and me, Mr. T.
We could be
Alone
In a house wot we'd almost own
Down by the sea...

[SWEENEY TODD:]
Anything you say...

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Wouldn't that be smashing?

With the sea at our gate
We'll have kippered herring
Wot have swum to us straight
From the Straits of Bering
Every night in the kip
When we're through our kippers
I'll be there slipping off your slippers

By the sea...
With the fishies splashing
By the sea...
Wouldn't that be smashing?
Down by the sea

[SWEENEY TODD:]
Anything you say
Anything you say

[MRS. LOVETT:]
I can see us waking
The breakers breaking
The seagulls squawking
Hoo! Hoo!
I'll do me baking
Then I go walking
With you—hoo
Yoo-hoo

I'll warm me bones
On the esplanade
Have tea and scones
With me gay young blade
Then I'll knit a sweater
While you write a letter
Unless we've got better
To do-hoo

[TODD:]
Anything you say

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Think how snug it'll be
Underneath our flannel
When it's just you and me
And the English Channel
In our cozy retreat
Kept all neat and tidy
We'll have chums over every Friday
By the sea...

[TODD:]
Anything you say...

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Don't you love the weather
By the sea?
We'll grow old together
By the seaside
Hoo! Hoo!
By the beautiful sea!

Ooh, I can see us now in our bathing dresses, oh! You in a nice, rich navy and me, in stripes, perhaps. Hmm.

It'll be so quiet
That who'll come by it
Except a seagull?
Hoo! Hoo!
We shouldn't try it
Though, till it's legal
For two—hoo!

But a seaside wedding
Could be devised
Me rumpled bedding
Legitimized
Me eyelids'll flutter
I'll turn into butter
The moment I mutter
"I do—hoo!"

By the sea, in our nest
We could share our kippers
With the odd paying guest
From the weekend trippers
Have a nice sunny suite
For the guest to rest in
Now and then, you could do the guest in

By the sea
Married nice and proper
By the sea
Bring along your chopper
To the seaside
Hoo! Hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
