Poor Thing-Stephen Sondheim

[00:00.00]Isn't that a room over the shop? [00:02.06]If times are so hard, why don't you rent it out? [00:04.66]People think it's haunted. [00:06.75]Haunted? [00:08.64]And who's to say they're wrong? ... [00:12.71]You see, years ago, something happened up there. [00:16.05]Something not very nice... [00:19.55] [00:21.59]There was a barber and his wife, [00:25.11]And he was beautiful, [00:29.19]A proper artist with a knife, [00:32.47]But they transported him for life. [00:36.36]And he was beautiful... [00:41.23]Barker, his name was -- Benjamin Barker. [00:45.78]What was his crime? [00:48.05]Foolishness [00:50.85]He had this wife, you see, [00:54.62]Pretty little thing, [00:54.88]Silly little nit [00:57.17]Had her chance for the moon on a string -- [01:00.73]Poor thing. Poor thing [01:07.48]There was this Judge, you see, [01:10.72]Wanted her like mad, [01:12.24]Every day he’d send her a flower, [01:14.73]But did she come down from her tower? [01:18.28]Sat up there and sobbed by the hour, [01:21.67]Poor fool. [01:24.78]Ah, but there was worse yet to come, [01:25.83]Poor thing. [01:33.49]The Beadle calls on her, all polite, [01:38.09]Poor thing, poor thing. [01:40.77]The Judge, he tells her, is all contrite, [01:44.75]He blames himself for her dreadful plight [01:48.08]She must come straight to his house tonight! [01:51.32]Poor thing, poor thing. [01:57.38]Of course, when she goes there, [02:00.05]Poor thing, poor thing, [02:01.53]They're having this ball all in masks. [02:03.98]There's no one she knows there, [02:06.23]Poor dear, poor thing, [02:07.80]She wanders tormented, and drinks, [02:09.92]Poor thing. [02:11.06]The Judge has repented, she thinks, [02:13.06]Poor thing. [02:14.00]“Oh, where is Judge Turpin?” she asks. [02:16.67]He was there, all right-- [02:19.81]Only not so contrite! [02:21.28]She wasn’t no match for such craft, you see, [02:27.43]And everyone thought it so droll. [02:29.89]They figured she had to be daft, you see, [02:33.59]So all of ‘em stood there and laughed, you see, [02:36.29]Poor soul! [02:38.40]Poor thing! [02:42.20] [02:44.60] [02:47.96]NOOOOOOOO... [02:50.28]Would no one have mercy on her? [02:54.54]So it is you -- Benjamin Barker. [02:57.14]No, not Barker. [03:00.84]That man is dead. [03:02.53]It's Todd now. [03:04.46]Sweeney Todd ... [03:06.11]And he will have his revenge.
