Primadonagirl: UGH! Can I fast forward this song?

Mrs. Lovett: Why? I sing 'ere again!

Primadonagirl: But we ALL know about his stupid past.

Sweeney: It is not stupid.. -_-

<Pretty little thing, silly little nit, had her chance on a moon on a string.>
<Poor thing. Poor thing.>
<There was this judge you see, wanted her like mad every day he sent her a flower.>
<But did she come down from her tower. Sat up there and sobbed by the hour.>
<Poor fool, and there was worse yet to come poor thing.>
<Well Beadle, calls on her all polite. Poor thing, poor thing.>

Poor thing, poor thing.>
<Of course when she gos there poor thing, poor thing.>
<They' re having this ball on with masks.>
<There's no one she knows there poor dear poor thing. She wonders tormented and drinks poor thing.>
<The judge has repented, she thinks poor thing.>
<Oh where is judge Turpin she asks?>

Sweeney: *cursing under his breath*

Mrs. Lovett: There there dear.

<He was there all right, only not so contrite.>
<She wasnt no much 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.>

Sweeney: *clutching hand into a tight fist*

<Poor soul. Poor thing.>
<Dramatic music>
<NO!!!!!>

Primadonagirl:*wakes up* HUH!? What did I miss? *looks at TV* Great, its the end of the song.
