No Place Like London Lyrics - Sweeney Todd

I have sailed the world, beheld its wonders 

From the Dardanelles to the mountains of Peru 

But there's no place like London! 

I feel home again 

I could hear the city bells ring 

Whatever I would do 

No, there's no place like London! 

Mr. Todd, sir 

You are young 

Life has been kind to you 

You will learn 

So Antony, it is here we go our several ways 

Farewell, I shall not soon forget the good ship bountiful 

Nor the young man who saved my life 

Alms, alms for a miserable woman 

On a miserable chilly mornin' 

Oh, thank you, sir, thank you 

How would you like a little squiff, dear 

A little jig-jig, a little bounce around the bush 

Wouldn't you like to push me crumpet? 

It looks to me, dear, like you've got plenty there to push 

Alms, alms for a pitiful woman 

What's got wandering wits 

Hey, don't I know you, mister? 

Must you glare at me, woman? 

Off with you, off I say 

Then how would you like to fish me squiff, Mister? 

We'll go jig-jig, a little 

Off I said to the devil with you! 

Alms, alms for a desperate woman 

Pardon me, sir 

But there's no need to fear the likes of her 

She's only a half-crazed beggar woman 

London's full of them 

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit 

And the vermin of the world inhabit it 

And it's morals aren't worth what a pig can spit 

And it goes by the name of London 

At the top of the hole sit the privileged few 

Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo 

Turning beauty into filth and greed 

I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders 

For the cruelty of men is as wondrous as Peru 

But there's no place like London
