Sweeney Todd. Green Finch and Linnet Bird lyrics?

I was looking up the lyrics for the song Green Finch and Linnet Bird
from the movie Sweeney Todd and I saw there was a whole verse I have
never heard before.
Sweeney Todd is one of my favourite movies and i have heard that song
countless times, so why have I never heard that verse before???
I am in Australia so maybe they just left that verse out in the
Australian version.. Seems kind of pointless though

these are the lyrics of the verse I havent heard

Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing or merely aloaming?
Are you discussing?
Or fussing?
Or simply dreaming?
Are you crowing?
Are you screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
Singing to be sold?
Have you decided it's safer in cages
singing when you're told?
