The Judge’s Return

Lyrics

[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, 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—
