No place like London Lyrics

Antony

I have sailed the world
beheld its wonders
from the dardinells,
to the mountains of Peru,
But there's no place like London!

Sweeney Todd

No, there's no place like London

Antony (spoken)

Mr. Todd, sir

Sweeney Todd

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

There's a whole in the world like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
and its morals aren't worth what a pin can spit
and it goes by the name of London.
At the top of the hole sit the privileged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo
turning beauty to 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 right, Mr. Todd?

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

I beg your indulgence, Antony
My mind is far from easy, in these once familiar streets I feel shadows... everywhere...
