Stephen Sondheim - By the Sea lyrics

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? Dontcha wanna know? Sweeney Todd (spoken): Of course. Mrs. Lovett: Do you really wanna know? Sweeney Todd (spoken): Yes. I do. Mrs. Lovett: By the sea, Mr. Todd,that's a 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 what we'd almost own Down by the sea... Sweeney Todd: Anything you say... Mrs. Lovett: Wouldn't that be smashing? 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... Dontcha love the weather? By the sea, We'll grow old together By the seaside, By the beautiful sea It'll be so quiet, That who'll come by it Except a seagull? Oh, oh! We shouldn't try it Until it's legal for two But a seaside wedding could be devised My rumpled bedding, legitimized My eyelids'll flutter I'll turn into bu*ter, The moment I mutter, "I do!" Down by the sea, Married nice and proper By the sea, Bring along your chopper To the seaside, By the beautiful sea.
