Original Broadway Cast of Sweeney Todd
Todd swears revenge on the Judge and Beadle, and Mrs. Lovett presents Todd with his old collection of sterling silver straight razors, which persuades Todd to take up his old profession.
In the Broadway production, this song follows “Poor Thing” and precedes “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd (Reprise)”.
[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
My, them handles is chased silver, ain't they?
[TODD, spoken]
Silver, yes...
(sung)
These are my friends
See how they glisten
See this one shine
How he smiles in the light
My friend, my faithful friend
Speak to me, friend
Whisper, I'll listen
I know, I know
You've been locked out of sight
All these years—
Like me, my friend
Well, I've come home
To find you waiting
Home
And we're together
And we'll do wonders
Won't we?
[TODD, MRS. LOVETT]
You there, my friend I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd
Come, let me hold you If you only knew, Mr. Todd—
Now, with a sigh Ooh, Mr. Todd

My clever friend Always had a fondness for you, I did
Rest now, my friends Never you fear, Mr. Todd

Till now your shine Don't they shine beautiful?

At last, my arm is complete again!
