Wait lyrics

[Mrs. Lovett:]

It’s not much of a chair but it’ll do.

Was my poor Albert’s chair.

Sat in it all day long, he did

Till half his leg give out with gout.

[Sweeney Todd:]

Why doesn’t the beadle come?

Before the week is out.

That’s what he said.

[Mrs. Lovett:]

Well who said the week is out?

It’s only Tuesday.

Easy now,

Hush, love, hush,

Don't distress yourself,

What's your rush?

Keep your thoughts

Nice and lush,

Wait...

Hush, love, hush,

Think it through

Once it bubbles, then

What's to do?

Watch it close

Let it brew

Wait...

I've been thinking flowers,

Maybe daisies...

To brighten up the room.

Don't you think some flowers,

Pretty daisies,

Might relieve the gloom?

Ah, wait...

Love, wait...

[Sweeney Todd:]

And the judge?

When will I get to him?

[Mrs. Lovett:]

Can't you think of nothing else?

Always brooding away on your wrongs

What happened heaven knows

How many years ago!

Slow, love, slow.

Time's so fast.

Now goes quickly, see

Now it's past!

Soon will come

Soon will last

Wait...

Don't you know,

Silly man?

Half the fun is to

Plan the plan!

All good things

Come to those who can

Wait...

Gillyflowers, maybe,

Instead of daisies...

I dunno though...

What do you think?
