"Down by the sea / Wouldn't it be smashing..."

I didn't see this picspam done yet, so I decided I'd go ahead and try it. It's my first picspam (hopefully not the last), so bear with me. :)

I picked this scene in particular because it's one of my favorite scenes of the movie. I can't sing worth a crap, but I sure try this song when I'm by myself in my car. ;) As sad as it is, there's something identifiable I can find with Mrs. Lovett and her one sided-adoration of Sweeney Todd. Some of Johnny Depp's faces are truly hilarious, though.

The caps came from spectralsoul, and please enjoy!

It's under an LJ-cut for the benefit of the LJ friends who may not be interested in this.

Anyway...here's the "By the Sea" scene from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.









Ooh, Mr. Todd!
I'm so happy!
I could
Eat you up, I really could!
You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd?
What I dream
If the business stays as good?
Where I'd really like to go,
In a year or so?







Don't you want to know?
TODD: (spoken) Of course.
Do you really want to know?
TODD: (spoken) Yes, I do.




By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet,
By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you'd love it!
You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
In a house wot we'd almost own,
Down by the sea!
TODD: Anything you say...
LOVETT: Wouldn't that be smashing?
Think how snug it'll be underneath our flannel
When it's just you and me and the English Channel!












In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy,
We'll have chums over ev'ry Friday!
By the sea!
Don'tcha love the weather?
By the sea!
We'll grow old together!
By the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
It'll be so quiet,
That who'll come by it,
Except a seagull
Hoo, hoo!












We shouldn't try it,
though 'til it's legal for two-hoo!
But a seaside wedding could be devised,
Me rumpled bedding legitimized!
Me eyelids'll flutter,
I'll turn into butter,
The moment I mutter I do-hoo!
Down by the sea,
Married nice and proper!




By the sea,
Bring along your chopper!
To the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!

That's it guys! Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to leave a comment!
