Wait

[Mrs. Lovett:]
Kinda bare, isn't it? I never did like a bare room. Oh,
well, we'll find some nice little knickknacks.

[Todd:]
Why doesn't the Beadle come? "Before the week is out,"
that's what he said.

[Mrs. Lovett:]
And who says the week's out yet? It's only Tuesday.

Easy now
Hush, love, hush
Don't distress yourself
What's your rush
Keep your thoughts
Nice and lush
Wait.

Hush, love, hush
Think it through
Once it bubbles
Then what's to do
Watch it close
Let it brew
Wait.

I've been thinking, flowers--
Maybe daisies--
To brighten up the room
Don't you think some flowers
Pretty daisies
Might relieve the gloom
Ah, wait, love, wait.

[Todd:]
And the judge? When do I get to him?

[Mrs. Lovett:]
Can't you think of nothing else? Always broodin' away
on yer wrongs what happened heaven knows how many years ago!

Slow, love, slow
Time's so fast
Now goes quickly
See, now it's past
Soon will come
Soon will last
Wait.

Don't you know
Silly man
Half the fun is to
Plan the plan
All good things come to
Those who can
Wait.

Gillyflowers, maybe
'stead of daisies
I don't know, though
What do you think?

[Todd:]
Yes.

[Mrs. Lovett:]
Gillyflowers, I'd say. Nothing like a nice bowl of gillies.
