The Barber And His Wife
Todd:
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it
And it's morals aren't worth what a pig could spit
And it goes by the name of london...
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.
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!
Anthony: And the lady, sir, did she succumb?
Todd:
Oh, that was many years ago...
I doubt if anyone would know...
(Dialogue)
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...
El barbero y su esposa
Todd:
Hay un agujero en el mundo como un gran pozo negro
Y la escoria del mundo lo habita
Y sus moralidades no valen lo que un cerdo podría escupir
Y se llama londres...
Había un barbero y su esposa,
Y ella era hermosa.
Un barbero tonto y su esposa.
Ella era su razón y su vida,
Y ella era hermosa,
Y era virtuosa,
Y él era... Ingenuo.
Había otro hombre que vio
Que ella era hermosa.
Un buitre piadoso de la ley,
Que, con un gesto de su garra,
Quitó al barbero de su camino,
Entonces no quedaba más que esperar,
Y ella caería,
Tan suave,
Tan joven,
Tan perdida
Y oh tan hermosa!
Anthony: ¿Y la dama, señor, sucumbió?
Todd:
Oh, eso fue hace muchos años...
Dudo que alguien lo sepa...
(Dialogo)
Hay un agujero en el mundo como un gran pozo negro
Y está lleno de gente que está llena de mierda
Y la escoria del mundo lo habita...
