TODD: 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 a 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!
ANTHONY: And the lady, sir, did she succumb?
TODD: Oh, that was many years ago... I doubt if anyone would know...
