Most Honorable Judge Turpin

Most Honorable

Ha!

Honorable!

I venture thus to write you this

Urgent

Note to warn you

That the hot-blooded

Young

Ha!

Sailor

Has abducted your ward Johanna

(Johanna!)

(Johanna!)

From the institution
Where you

So wisely

Confined her

But, hoping to earn your favor

I have persuaded the boy to lodge her here tonight

At my tonsorial parlor

In Fleet Street

If you want her again in your arms
Hurry
After the night falls

She will be waiting

Waiting

Your obedient humble servant

Sweeney Todd
