stephen sondheim - ah miss lyrics

anthony (gazing at her, sings softly):
i have sailed the world,
beheld its wonders,
>from the pearls of spain
to the rubies of tibet,
but not even in london
have i seen such a wonder . . .
(breathlessly)
lady look at me look at me miss oh
look at me please oh
favor me favor me with your glance.
ah, miss,
what do you what do you see off
there in those trees oh
won’t you give won’t you give me a chance?
who would sail to spain
for all its wonders,
when in kearney’s lane
lies the greatest wonder yet?
ah, miss,
look at you look at you pale and
ivory-skinned oh
look at you looking so sad so queer.
promise
not to retreat to the darkness
back of your window
not till you not till you look down here.
look at

anthony. johanna:
me! green finch and linnet bird,
look at nightingale, blackbird,
me! teach me how to sing.
if i cannot fly,
look at me .. . let me sing …

beggar woman:
alms, alms for a miserable woman.
beg your pardon, it’s you sir, thank you, thank you
kindly.

anthony (spoken):
one moment mother, perhaps you know who’s house this
is.

beggar woman:
(nervously) that, oh, that’s the gret judge turpins
house that is.

anthony:
and the young lady who resides there?

beggar woman:
(increasingly nervous) oh her? well that’s j-johanna,
his pretty little ward.
oh but don’t you go tressp-ssing there young man. not
if you value your hide.
tamper there and it’s a good wippin’ for ya,
or any other yout’ wif mischeif on ‘is mind. (laughs)

(sing-song) hey, oink sailor boy, want it’s lovely
harbored,
open me gate but don’t get straight i see it lists to
starboard
(laughs widly)

anthony: off with you, off!
