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?
Don´t you want to know?
TODD: of course.
LOVETT: Do you really want to know?
TODD: (spoken) Yes, I do
LOVETT:By the sea, Mr. Todd, that´s the life I covet,
By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you´d love it!
You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
In a house wot we´d almost own,
Down by the sea!
Wouldn´t that be smashing?
TODD: Anything you say...
LOVETT:
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 ev´ry Friday!
By the sea!
Don´tcha love the weather?
By the sea!
We´ll grow old together!
By the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
It´ll be so quiet,
That who´ll come by it,
Except a seagull
Hoo, hoo!
We shouldn´t try it,
Though, ´til it´s legal for two-hoo!
But a seaside wedding could be devised,
Me rumpled bedding legitimized!
Me eyelids´ll flutter,
I´ll turn into butter,
The moment I mutter I do-hoo!
By the sea,
Married nice and proper!
By the sea,
Bring along your chopper!
To the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
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?
Don´t you want to know?
TODD: of course.
LOVETT: Do you really want to know?
TODD: (spoken) Yes, I do
LOVETT:By the sea, Mr. Todd, that´s the life I covet,
