[00:16.90]	There was a barber and his wife,
[00:20.70]	And he was beautiful,
[00:24.38]	A proper artist with a knife,
[00:27.69]	But they transported him for life.
[00:31.17]	And he was beautiful...
[00:34.38]
[00:46.39]	He had this wife, ya see.
[00:49.06]	Pretty little thing,
[00:50.32]	silly little nit.
[00:51.27]	Had her chance for the moon on a string...
[00:55.64]	Poor thing
[00:59.22]	Poor thing
[01:02.86]	There was this Judge, you see,
[01:05.56]	Wanted her like mad,
[01:06.83]	Every day he’d send her a flower,
[01:10.27]	But did she come down from her tower?
[01:13.59]	Sat up there and sobbed by the hour,
[01:17.05]	Poor fool.
[01:19.16]	Ah, but there was worse yet to come,
[01:21.08]	Poor thing.
[01:29.31]	The Beadle calls on her, all polite,
[01:32.63]	Poor thing, poor thing.
[01:35.94]	The Judge, he tells her, is all contrite,
[01:39.11]	He blames himself for her dreadful plight
[01:42.56]	She must come straight to his house tonight!
[01:45.60]	Poor thing, poor thing.
[01:53.58]	Of course, when she goes there,
[01:55.20]	Poor thing, poor thing,
[01:56.71]	They're having this ball all in masks.
[01:59.75]	There's no one she knows there,
[02:02.35]	Poor dear, poor thing,
[02:03.06]	She wanders tormented, and drinks,
[02:05.63]	Poor thing.
[02:06.00]	The Judge has repented, she thinks,
[02:08.02]	Poor thing.
[02:09.02]	“Oh, where is Judge Turpin?” she asks.
[02:13.56]	He was there, all right--
[02:14.87]	Only not so contrite!
[02:19.54]	She wasn’t no match for such craft, you see,
[02:22.62]	And everyone thought it so droll.
[02:25.64]	They figured she had to be daft, you see,
[02:28.49]	So all of ‘em stood there and laughed, you see,
[02:31.56]	Poor soul!
[02:34.40]	Poor thing!
[02:35.68]
[02:47.96]	NOOOOOOOO...
[02:50.28]	Would no one have mercy on her?
[02:54.54]	So it is you -- Benjamin Barker.
[02:57.14]	No, not Barker.
[03:00.84]	That man is dead.
[03:02.53]	It's Todd now.
[03:04.46]	Sweeney Todd ...
[03:06.11]	And he will have his revenge.
