Ooh, Mr. TODD — I'm so happy — I could — Eat you up, I really could! You know what I'd like to Do, Mr. TODD? What I dream — If the business stays as good, Where I'd really like to go — In a year or so ... Don't you want to know? TODD : Of course. MRS. LOVETT: Do you really want to know? TODD : Yes,I do MRS. LOVETT: By the sea, Mr. TODD, That's the life I covet; By the sea, Mr. TODD, Ooh, I know you'd love it! You and me, Mr. T, We could be alone In a house wot we'd almost own Down by the sea ... TODD: Anything you say . . . MRS. LOVETT: Wouldn't that be smashing?
Think how snug it'll be Underneath our flannel When it's just you and me And the English Channel. In our cozy retreat, Kept all neat and tidy, We'll have chums over every Friday By the sea . . . TODD: Anything you say . . . MRS. LOVETT: Don't you love the weather By the sea? We'll grow old together By the seaside, Hoo! Hoo! By the beautiful sea! It'll be so quiet That who'll come by it Except a seagull? Hoo! Hoo! We shouldn't try it, Though, till it's legal For two-hoo! But a seaside wedding Could be devised, Me rumpled bedding Legitimized. Me eyelids'll flutter, I'll turn into butter, The moment I mutter "Ido-hoo!" By the sea, Married nice and proper, By the sea — Bring along your chopper To the seaside, Hoo! Hoo! By the beautiful sea!
