The Judge’s Return

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Where is she? Where is the girl?

[TODD, spoken]
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.

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
She has?

[TODD, spoken]
Oh yes, your lesson was well learned, sir. She speaks only of you, longing for your forgiveness.

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
And she shall have it. She'll be here soon, you say?

[TODD]
I think I hear her now

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Oh, excellent, my friend!

[TODD]
Is that her dainty footstep on the stair?

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
I hear nothing.

[TODD]
Yes, isn't that her shadow on the wall?

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Where?

[TODD, spoken]
There!
(sung)
Primping
Making herself even prettier than usual—

[JUDGE TURPIN]
Even prettier

[TODD]
If possible

[JUDGE TURPIN]
Oh, pretty women

[TODD]
Pretty women
(spoken)
Yes, sir...

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Quickly, sir, a splash of bay rum!

[TODD, spoken]
Sit, sir, sit.

[JUDGE TURPIN]
Johanna, Johanna

[TODD]
Pretty women

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Hurry, man!

[TODD]
Pretty women
Are a wonder

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
You're in a merry mood again today, barber.

[TODD, spoken]
Yes, sir.
(sung)
Pretty women

[JUDGE TURPIN]
What we do for

[JUDGE TURPIN & TODD]
Pretty women
Blowing out their candles or
Combing out their hair—

[JUDGE TURPIN, TODD]
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)

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit!

[TODD, spoken]
With fellow tastes in women, at least.

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
What? What's that?

[TODD, spoken]
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.

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Benjamin Barker!

[TODD, spoken]
Benjamin Barker!

[TODD kills the JUDGE and sends him to the cellar.]

[TODD]
Rest now, my friend
Rest now forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels
(spoken)
Tobias!

[COMPANY]
Lift your razor high, Sweeney
Hear it singing, "Yes"
Sink it in the rosy skin
Of righteousness

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Die! Die! God in heaven—die! You! Can it be? Have all the demons of hell come to torment me? Quick, to the oven.

[TODD, spoken]
Why did you scream? Does the Judge still live?

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Ah, he was clutching, holding on to my skirt, but n-now he's finished.

[TODD, spoken]
Leave them to me. Open the doors.

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
No!

[TODD, spoken]
Open the doors, I said!

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
No! No! Don't touch her!

[TODD, spoken]
What's the matter with you? It's only some meddling old beggar wo—
