The Letter Songtext

The Letter Songtext
Most honorable Judge Turpin (Most honorable)
Ha! (Honorable!)
I venture thus to write you this
Urgent note to warn you
That the hot-blooded young (Ha!)
Sailor has abducted your Johanna (Johanna)
From the institution where you
So wisely
Confined her
But hoping to earn your favor
I have persuaded the boy to lodge her here tonight
At my tonsorial parlor
In Fleet Street
If you want her again in your arms
Hurry, after the night falls
She will be waiting
Waiting
Your obedient humble servant
Sweeney Todd
Ha! (Honorable!)
I venture thus to write you this
Urgent note to warn you
That the hot-blooded young (Ha!)
Sailor has abducted your Johanna (Johanna)
From the institution where you
So wisely
Confined her
But hoping to earn your favor
I have persuaded the boy to lodge her here tonight
At my tonsorial parlor
In Fleet Street
If you want her again in your arms
Hurry, after the night falls
She will be waiting
Waiting
Your obedient humble servant
Sweeney Todd
