Text: Sweeney Todd. A String Of Pearls.

Into my shop face full of laughter
full of joyous childish mirth
a string of pearls for his fancy
twelve thousand pounds say's he they're worth

What would you give for a string of Pearls
What would you give for a string of pearls

To grace the throat of his betrothed
a trinket much admired by girls
a present for this jack tar's sweetheart
these dewdrops
this string of pearls

What would you give for a string of Pearls
What would you give for a string of pearls

break

What would you give for a string of Pearls
What would you give for a string of pearls

1. Show me the woman that deserves such gems
Show me this woman, I'll show you fatal fem
pass me my razor, pass me the strop
show me a throat, I just cant seem to stop.

what would you give for a string of pearls...baby

repeat from 1.

Into my shop face full of laughter
full of joyous childish mirth
a string of pearls for his fancy
twelve thousand pounds say's he they're worth

and there all mine.........all mine
