Poor Thing - Stephen Sondheim[00:00:00]
Written by:Stephen Sondheim[00:00:00]
There was a barber and his wife[00:00:00]
And he was beautiful[00:00:04]
A proper artist with a knife[00:00:09]
But they transported him for life[00:00:13]
And he was beautiful[00:00:16]
Barker his name was benjamin barker[00:00:22]
Transported what was his crime[00:00:26]
Foolishness[00:00:30]
He had this wife y'see[00:00:31]
Pretty little thing[00:00:34]
Silly little nit[00:00:35]
Had her chance for the moon on a string[00:00:36]
Poor thing[00:00:41]
Poor thing[00:00:45]
There were these two y'see[00:00:48]
Wanted her like mad[00:00:51]
One of 'em a judge t'other one his beadle[00:00:53]
Every day they'd nudge and they'd wheedle[00:00:56]
But she wouldn't budge from her needle[00:01:00]
Too bad[00:01:03]
Pure thing[00:01:05]
So they merely shipped the poor blighter off south they did[00:01:07]
Leaving 'er with nothing but grief and a year old kid[00:01:10]
Did she use her head even then oh no god forbid[00:01:14]
Poor fool[00:01:17]
Ah but there was worse yet to come[00:01:19]
Poor thing[00:01:21]
Johanna that was the child's name pretty little johanna[00:01:22]
Go on[00:01:27]
My you do like a good story don't you[00:01:28]
Well beadle calls on her all polite[00:01:31]
Poor thing[00:01:34]
Poor thing[00:01:36]
The judge he tells her is all contrite[00:01:37]
He blames himself for her dreadful plight[00:01:40]
She must come straight to his house tonight[00:01:43]
Poor thing[00:01:46]
Poor thing[00:01:47]
Of course when she goes there[00:01:52]
Poor thing[00:01:54]
Poor thing[00:01:54]
They're having this ball all in masks[00:01:55]
There's no one she knows there[00:01:58]
Poor dear[00:02:00]
Poor thing[00:02:00]
She wonders tormented and drinks[00:02:01]
Poor thing[00:02:03]
The judge has repented she thinks[00:02:04]
Poor thing[00:02:06]
Oh where is judge turpin she asks[00:02:07]
He was there alright[00:02:12]
Only not so contrite[00:02:13]
She wasn't no match for such craft y'see[00:02:18]
And everyone thought it so droll[00:02:21]
They figured she had to be daft y'see[00:02:23]
So all of them stood there and laughed y'see[00:02:26]
Poor soul[00:02:29]
Poor thing[00:02:32]
No would no one have mercy on her[00:02:41]
So it is you benjamin barker[00:02:43]
