I'm pretty sure Sondheim did music for Sweeney Todd. So, here are the lyrics
2
***
3
I had him!
4
His throat was there beneath my hand.
5
No, I had him!
6
His throat was there and now he'll never come again.
7
Mrs. Lovett: Easy now, hush love hush
8
I keep telling you, Whats your rush?
9
Todd: When? Why did I wait?
10
You told me to wait -
11
Now he'll never come again.
12
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
13
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
14
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
15
But not for long...
16
They all deserve to die.
17
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
18
Because in all of the whole human race
19
Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
20
There's the one staying put in his proper place
21
And the one with his foot in the other one's face
22
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.
23
No, we all deserve to die
24
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
25
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
26
For the rest of us death will be a relief
27
We all deserve to die.
28
And I'll never see Johanna
29
No I'll never hug my girl to me - finished!
30
Alright! You sir, you sir, how about a shave?
31
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney.
32
You sir, too sir? Welcome to the grave.
33
I will have vengenance.
34
I will have salvation.
35
Who sir, you sir?
36
No ones in the chair, Come on! Come on!
37
Sweeney's. waiting. I want you bleeders.
38
You sir! Anybody!
39
Gentlemen now don't be shy!
40
Not one man, no, nor ten men.
41
Nor a hundred can assuage me.
42
I will have you!
43
And I will get him back even as he gloats
44
In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats.
45
And my Lucy lies in ashes
46
And I'll never see my girl again.
47
But the work waits!
48
I'm alive at last!
49
And I'm full of joy!
