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
ย
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!
And the lady, sir, did she succumb?
Oh, that was many years ago
I doubt if anyone would know
Now leave me, Anthony, I beg of you
There's somewhere I must go
Something I must find out
Now, and alone
So long, then, Mr. Todd
ย
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it
