Wait

Wait
Mrs. Lovett (spoken)
It’s not much of a chair but it’ll do
Was was me poor Albert’s chair
Sat in it all day long he did till half his leg give
Out with gout
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
Why doesn’t the beadle come?
Before the week is out
That’s what he said
Mrs. Lovett (spoken)
He said ‘before the week is out'
It’s only Tuesday
(sung)
Easy now
Hush, love, hush
Don’t distress yourself
What’s your rush?
Keep your thoughts
Nice and lush
Wait
Hush, love, hush
Think it through
Once it bubbles, then
What’s to do?
Watch it close
Let it brew
Wait
I’ve been thinkin' flowers
Maybe daisies
To brighten up the room!
Don’t you think some flowers
Pretty daisies
Might relieve the gloom?
Ah, wait
Love, wait
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
And the judge? When will I get to him?
Mrs. Lovett (spoken)
Can’t you think of nothin' else?
Always broodin' away on your wrongs
What happened heaven knows how many years ago!
(sung)
Slow, love, slow
Time’s so fast
Now goes quickly, see
Now it’s past!
Soon will come
Soon will last
Wait
Don’t you know
Silly man?
Half the fun is to
Plan the plan!
All good things
Come to those who can
Wait
Gillyflowers, maybe
'Stead of daisies…
I dunno though…
What do you think?
