letra de poor thing - fiyero + elphaba

[todd, spoken]
isn’t that a room up there over the shop? if times are so hard, why don’t you rent it out? that should bring in something.

[mrs. lovett, spoken]
up there? oh, no one will go near it. people think it’s haunted. you see, years ago, something happened up there, something not very nice.
(sung)
there was a barber and his wife
and he was beautiful
a proper artist with a knife
but they transported him for life
and he was beautiful
(spoken)
barker, his name was—benjamin barker.

[todd, spoken]
transportеd? what was his crime?

[mrs. lovett, spoken]
foolishness
(sung)
he had this wifе, you see (oh)
pretty little thing
silly little nit
had her chance for the moon on a string—
poor thing
poor thing
there were these two, you see
wanted her like mad
one of ’em a judge
t’other one his beadle
every day they’d nudge
and they’d wheedle
but she wouldn’t budge
from her needle
too bad
pure thing
so they merely shipped the poor blighter off south, they did
leaving her with nothing but grief and a year-old kid
did she use her head even then? oh no, god forbid
poor fool
ah, but there was worse yet to come
poor thing
(spoken)
johanna, that was the baby’s name… pretty little johanna…
[todd, spoken]
go on.

[mrs. lovett, spoken]
my, you do like a good story, don’t you?
(sung)
well, beadle calls on her, all polite
poor thing
poor thing
the judge, he tells her, is all contrite
he blames himself for her dreadful plight
she must come straight to his house tonight!
poor thing
poor thing
of course when she goes there
poor thing, poor thing
they’re having this ball all in masks
there’s no one she knows there
poor dear, poor thing
she wanders tormented and drinks
poor thing
the judge has repented, she thinks
poor thing
“oh, where is judge turpin?” she asks
he was there, all right—
only not so contrite
she wasn’t no match for such craft, you see
and everyone thought it so droll
they figured she had to be daft, you see
so all of them stood there and laughed, you see
poor soul
poor thing
[todd, spoken]
no! would no one have mercy on her?

[mrs. lovett, spoken]
so it is you, benjamin barker!
[todd, spoken]
not barker! not barker! todd now! sweeney todd! where is she?
todd
where’s lucy?! where?s my wife?!
mrs. lovett
she poisoned herself. -rs-nic from the apothecary on the corner. i tried to
stop her but she wouldn’t listen to me. and he’s got your daughter
todd
he? judge turpin?
mrs. lovett
adopted her like his own
todd absorbs this sickening news
todd
fifteen years of sweating in a living
h-ll on a false charge. fifteen years
dreaming that i might come home to
find a loving wife and child…
mrs. lovett
well, i can’t say the years have been
particularly kind to you, mr. barker, but you still–
todd
no, not barker. that man is dead. it’s
todd now. sweeney todd … and he will have his revenge
he continues with a chilling and quiet resolve as he stares
with unblinking eyes into the fire:
todd
judge turpin and the beadle will pay for what they did
a beat. he finally turns to her
todd
first i must have my shop back

poor thing (revised, part ii)

(mrs. lovett, sung)
poor thing, she was lost and alone
in a world so unkind
her innocence shattered, her heart turned to stone
poor thing

(spoken)
and benjamin barker, the vengeful barber, watched from the shadows

(todd, spoken)
what happened next?

(mrs. lovett, sung)
well, the judge, he had plans, you see
for the girl with the golden hair
he lured her into his mansion, so grand
with promises of safety and care
poor thing

(spoken)
but the judge was no savior. his intentions were darker than the night

(sung)
he whispered sweet lies in her ear
“johanna, my dear, you’re safe here”
and she believed him, oh, how she believed
as he led her up the winding stairs
poor thing

(todd, spoken)
and what of benjamin barker?

(mrs. lovett, sung)
he watched from the shadows, his rage burning bright
his blade, once used for artistry, now thirsted for justice
he climbed the stairs, step by step, fueled by revenge
poor thing

(spoken)
and there, in the opulent ballroom, he saw her—johanna—dancing with the judge

(sung)
the masquerade masks concealed their faces
but barker knew them by their sins
he moved closer, his heart pounding
“johanna,” he whispered, “i’m here”
poor thing

(todd, spoken)
did she recognize him?

(mrs. lovett, sung)
not at first. but then their eyes met
recognition dawned, and hope fl!ckered
“benjamin?” she breathed, her voice a fragile thread
and in that moment, everything changed
poor thing

(spoken)
the judge, oblivious to the danger, continued his charade
but barker was no longer an artist with a blade
he was a man consumed by vengeance
poor thing

(sung)
the ballroom spun, the music a haunting waltz
barker lunged, steel meeting flesh
the judge’s mask fell, revealing terror
and johanna, her eyes wide, watched it all unfold
poor thing

(todd, spoken)
did she flee?

(mrs. lovett, sung)
no, she stayed. she saw the truth
the blood staining barker’s hands
and she understood—this was her chance
to escape the web of lies, to reclaim her life
poor thing

(spoken)
and so, she took his hand, and they fled
through moonlit corridors, past forgotten secrets
away from the judge’s mansion, away from darkness
poor thing

(the judge takes lucy away)
sweeney todd: what happened to lucy?

(lucy is crying)
johanna (revised)

(sweeney todd, sung)
johanna, my lost light in the shadows
a melody of innocence, a fragile bloom
your name echoes through cobblestone streets
as i yearn for the touch of your hand, the warmth of your gaze

(spoken)
lucy, my beloved wife, you were the vessel that carried her into this world

(sweeney todd, sung)
johanna, my beacon in this murky abyss
they tore us apart, stitched our hearts with cruelty
judge turpin, the architect of our tragedy
his l-st stained your innocence, and my rage ignited

(spoken)
lucy, you were the canvas upon which our sorrow was painted

(sweeney todd, sung)
johanna, your name dances on my tongue
a prayer whispered in the dark, a plea to fate
i sharpen my blade, not solely for revenge
but to sever the chains that bind us, my daughter

(spoken)
lucy, your memory fl!ckers like a candle in a storm

(sweeney todd, sung)
johanna, they call you a star, a celestial wonder
yet you’re trapped in a constellation of lies
i climb the twisted stairs of destiny
to reclaim you, my blood, my legacy

(spoken)
lucy, forgive me for the blood that stains my hands

(sweeney todd, sung)
johanna, the masquerade continues
turpin parades you as his ward, a p-wn in his game
but i see you, my daughter, behind the mask
your eyes, wide with secrets, mirror my own

(spoken)
lucy, your ghost walks beside me, urging me forward

(sweeney todd, sung)
johanna, the ballroom whirls, and i am a tempest
steel meets flesh, and the judge’s mask falls
his terror unmasked, your truth revealed
“father,” you whisper, and my heart fractures

(spoken)
lucy, i failed you, mistook you for an enemy

(sweeney todd, sung)
johanna, we flee through moonlit corridors
past forgotten sins, toward redemption
i cradle your lifeless form, my tears a river
lucy, johanna, my fractured soul seeks solace
