ANTONY: 
I have sailed the world 
Beheld its wonders 
From the Dardanelles to the mountains of Peru 
But there’s no place like London! 

MR. TODD: 
No, there’s no place like London! 

ANTONY: 
(spoken) Mr. Todd? 

MR. TODD: 
You are young 
Life has been kind to you 
You will learn. 

There’s a hole in the world, 
Like a great black pit. 
And the vermin of the world inhabit it 
And its morals aren’t worth what a pig could spit 
And it goes by the name of London 

At the top of the hole sit a privileged few 
Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo 
turning beauty into filth and greed 
I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders 
For the cruelty of men is as wondrous as Peru 
But there’s no place like London! 

ANTONY: 
(Spoken) Is everything alright, Mr. Todd? 

MR. TODD: 
(Spoken) 
I beg your indulgence, Anthony. 
My mind is far from easy. 
In these once familiar streets, I feel shadows, everywhere. 

(Sung) 
There was a barber and his wife 
And she was beautiful 
A foolish barber and his wife 
She was his reason and his life 
And she was beautiful 
And she was virtuous 
And he was…naive 

There was another man who saw 
That she was beautiful 
A pious vulture of the law 
Who with the gesture of his claw 
Removed the barber from his plate 
Then there was nothing but to wait 
And she would fall, so soft 
So young, 
So lost, 
And oh, so beautiful 

ANTONY: 
(spoken) 
And the lady, sir. Did she succumb? 

TODD: 
(sung) 
Oh, that was many years ago 
I doubt if anyone would know 

(spoken) 
I’d like to thank you, Antony. 
If you hadn’t spotted me, I’d be lost in the ocean still. 

ANTONY: 
(Spoken) 
Will I see you again? 

TODD: 
(spoken) 
You might find me if you’d like. 
Around Fleet Street I wouldn’t wonder. 

ANTONY: 
(spoken) 
Until then, my friend. 

TODD: 
There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit 
And it’s filled with people who are filled with shit 
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
