(Note: Many of the lyrics for Todd and Anthony are sung simultaneously)

ANTHONY:

I feel you, Johanna

I feel you

Do they think that walls can hide you?

Even now I’m at your window

I am in the dark beside you

Buried sweetly in your yellow hair

Johanna

TODD:

And are you beautiful and pale

With yellow hair, like her

I’d want you beautiful and pale

The way I’ve dreamed you were,

Johanna

ANTHONY:

Johanna

TODD:

And if you’re beautiful what then

With yellow hair, like wheat

I think we shall not meet again,

My little dove, my sweet,

Johanna

ANTHONY:

I’ll steal you, Johanna

TODD:

Goodbye, Johanna

You’re gone and yet you’re mine

I’m fine, Johanna

I’m fine

ANTHONY:

Johanna

BEGGAR:

Smoke, smoke

Sign of the devil (x2)

City on fire

a witch, Witch

Smell it sir, an evil smell

Every night at the Vespers bell

Smoke that comes from the mouth of hell

City on fire (x2)

Mischief (x3)

TODD:

And if I never hear your voice,

My turtle dove, my dear

I still have reason to rejoice

The way ahead is clear

Johanna

JOHANNA

I'll marry ANTHONY Sunday . . .

ANTHONY Sunday ...

ANTHONY:

I feel you, Johanna

TODD:

And in that darkness when I’m blind

With what I can’t forget

It’s always morning in my mind,

My little lamb, my pet

Johanna

You stay, Johanna

ANTHONY:

Johanna

TODD:

The way I dreamed you were

Oh, look, Johanna

A star

ANTHONY:

Buried sweetly in your yellow hair

TODD:

A shooting star

BEGGAR:

There, there

Somebody, somebody

Look up there

Didn’t I tell you?

Smell that air

City on fire

Quick, sir! Run and tell

Warn them all of the witch's spell

There it is, there it is

That unholy smell

Tell it to the Beadle, and police as well

Tell them, tell them

Oh! Fiend!

City on fire (x2)

Mischief (x2)

TODD:

And though I’ll think of you I guess

Until the day I die

I think I miss you less and less

As every day goes by

Johanna

ANTHONY:

Johanna

TODD:

And you’d be beautiful and pale

And look too much like her

If only angels could prevail

We’d be the way we were

Johanna

ANTHONY:

I feel you, Johanna

TODD:

Wake up, Johanna

Another bright red day

We learn, Johanna

To say

Goodbye

ANTHONY:

I’ll steal you

when the beggar says 'mischief' she said it twice not 3 times
