Why hasn't Beadle Bamford come? "Before the week is out," that's what he said. 

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
And who says the week is out yet? It's only Tuesday. 

[TODD, spoken]
Ah!

[MRS. LOVETT]
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, spoken]
And what about the Judge? When will I get to him?

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Oh, can't you think of nothing else? Always brooding on your wrongs, what happened heaven knows how many years ago. 

(sung)
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, spoken]
Yes...

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Gillyflowers, I'd say. Nothing like a nice bowl of gillies.
