Sweeny Todd, at the start of the movie he sings, there is a great black hole.. w!


Question: The song is "No Place Like London."

The lyrics to the song are as follows:

There's a whole in the world like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
and its morals aren't worth what a pin can spit
and it goes by the name of London.
At the top of the hole sit the previlaged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo
turning beauty to filth and greed...
I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders,
for the cruelty of men is as wonderous as Peru
but there's no place like London!
--
There was a barber and his wife
and she was beautiful...
a foolish barber and his wife.
She was his reason for his life...
and she was beautiful, and she was virtuous.
And he was nieve.
There was another man who saw
that she was beautiful...
A biased vulture of the law
who, with a gesture of his claw
removed the barber from his plate!
And there was nothing but to wait!
And she would fall!
So soft!
So young!
So lost and oh so beautiful!

The whole movie is based on this song and for the record, the part where he says, "I have sailed around the world..." etc. is Johnny Depp talking dialogue and not singing. The actual song does not begin until he sings, "There is a whole in the world like a great black pit." Etc.

I figured you didn't need all of the dialogue in the scene. Just the song.

"I have sailed the world
beheld its wonders
from the dardinells,
to the mountains of Peru,
But there's no place like London!"

Sweeney Todd:

"No, there's no place like London.
You are young
Life has been kind to you
You will learn

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 a 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 it's wonders
For the cruelty of man is as wondrous as Peru
But there's no place like London


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

Oh, that was many years ago
I doubt it anyone know

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with sh?t
And the vermin of the world inhabit it"
