By The Sea Lyrics - Sweeney Todd

Oh, 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? 

Of course 

Do you really want to know? 

Yes, I do. 

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 what we'd almost own 

Down by the sea, anything you say 

Wouldn't that be smashing? 

With the sea at our gate, we'll have kippered herring 

What have swum to us straight from the Straits of Bering 

Every night in the kip, when we're through our kippers 

I'll be there slipping off your slippers 

By the sea, with the fishes splashing 

By the sea, wouldn't that be smashing? 

Down by the sea, anything you say 

Anything you say 

I can see us waking, the breakers breaking 

The seagulls squawking, hoo, hoo 

I do me baking, then I go walking 

With you-hoo, you-hoo 

I'll warm me bones on the esplanade 

Have tea and scones with me gay young blade 

Then I'll knit a sweater, while you write a letter 

Unless we've got better to do-hoo 

Anything you say 

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, anything you say 

Don't you love the weather? 

By the sea, we'll grow old together 

By the seaside, hoo, hoo 

By the beautiful sea 

Oh, I can see us now in our bathing dresses 

You in a nice navy, and me stripes perhaps 

It'll be so quiet, that who'll come by it 

Except a seagull, hoo, hoo 

We shouldn't try it 

Though 'til 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 I do-hoo 

By the sea, in our nest, we could share our kippers 

With the odd paying guest from the weekend trippers 

Have a nice sunny suite for the guest to rest in 

Now and then, you could do the guest in 

By the sea, married nice and proper 

By the sea, bring along your chopper 

To the seaside, hoo, hoo 

By the beautiful sea
