(album: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2023 Broadway Cast Recording) - 2023)

[JOHANNA:]
He means to marry me Monday
What shall I do? I'd rather die

[ANTHONY:]
I have a plan—

[JOHANNA:]
I'll swallow poison on Sunday
That's what I'll do, I'll get some lye

[ANTHONY:]
I have a plan—

[JOHANNA:]
Oh, dear, was that a noise?

[ANTHONY:]
A plan—

[JOHANNA:]
I think I heard a noise

[ANTHONY:]
A plan!

[JOHANNA:]
It couldn't be
He's in court
He's in court today
Still, that was a noise
Wasn't that a noise?
You must have heard that—

[ANTHONY:]
Kiss me

[JOHANNA:]
Oh, sir

[ANTHONY:]
Ah, miss

[JOHANNA:]
Oh, sir...

If he should marry me Monday
What will I do? I'll die of grief

[ANTHONY:]
We fly tonight—

[JOHANNA:]
'Tis Friday, virtually Sunday
What can we do with time so brief?

[ANTHONY:]
We fly tonight—

[JOHANNA:]
Behind the curtain—quick!

[ANTHONY:]
Tonight—

[JOHANNA:]
I think I heard a click!

[ANTHONY:]
Tonight!

[JOHANNA (ANTHONY):]
It was a gate!
It's the gate!
We don't have a gate (It's not a gate)
Still there was a—Wait! (There's no gate)
There's another click! (You don't have a gate)
You must have heard that... (If you'd only listen, miss)

[ANTHONY:]
Kiss me!

[JOHANNA:]
Tonight?

[ANTHONY:]
Kiss me

[JOHANNA:]
You mean tonight?

[ANTHONY:]
The plan is made

[JOHANNA:]
Oh, sir!

[ANTHONY:]
So kiss me

[JOHANNA:]
I feel a fright

[ANTHONY:]
Be not afraid

[JOHANNA (ANTHONY):]
Sir, I did (Tonight I'll)
Love you even as (I Steal)
Saw you, even as it (You)
Did not matter that I (Johanna)
Did not know your name (I'll steal you)

[ANTHONY:]
It's me you'll marry on Monday
That's what you'll do!

[JOHANNA:]
And gladly, sir

[ANTHONY:]
St. Dunstan's, noon

[JOHANNA (ANTHONY):]
I knew I'd be with you one day
Even not knowing who you were (Ah, miss)
I feared you'd never come (Marry me, marry me, miss)
That you'd been called away (Oh, marry me Monday!)
That you'd been killed (Favor me, favor me)
Had the plague (With your hand)
Were in debtor's jail (Promise)
Trampled by a horse (Marry me, marry me)
Gone to sea again (Please)
Arrested by the— (Oh, marry me Monday)

[JOHANNA:]
Kiss me!

[ANTHONY:]
Of course

[JOHANNA:]
Kiss me!

[ANTHONY:]
You're sure?

[JOHANNA:]
Kiss me!

[ANTHONY:]
I shall!

[JOHANNA:]
Kiss me!
Oh, sir...
