Poor Thing

the correct lyrics are :

there was a barber and his wife and he was beautiful a proper artist with a knife but they transported him for life and he was beautiful barker his name was benjamin barker

what was his crime? foolishness..

he had this wife ya see pretty little thing silly little nit had her chance for the moon on a string poor thing poor thing

there was this judge ya see wanted her like mad everyday he'd send her a flower but did she come down from her tower? sat up there and sulked by the hour poor fool oh but there was worse yet to come poor thing

??? the judge he tells her hes all contrite he blames himself for her dreadful plight she must come straight to his house tonight poor thing poor thing

of course when she goes there poor thing poor thing theyre having this ball all in masks theres no one she knows there poor dear poor thing she wonders tormented and drinks poor thing the judge has repented she thinks poor thing oh where is judge turpin she asks

he was there alright only not so contrite she wasnt no match for such craft ya see and everyone thought it so drull they figured she had to be daft ya see so all of them stood there and laughed ya see poor soul poor thing

NO! would no one have mercy on her? so it is you, benjamin barker? no! no barker that man is dead its todd now sweeney todd and he will have his revenge
