I just saw this a couple of months ago, so:

Fantastic musical. We saw Opera North doing it last year (possibly the year before actually) and it was stunning. Of course the current tour is starring Jason Donovan as Sweeney. *shudder* And there's the new US recording with Patty Lupone as Mrs Lovett *double shudder*

Through the wonder of search engines I have learned that this is yet another quote from Movin' Out; the song title is "Summer, Highland Falls".
Next:
"Let me see ... Where was I? Oh, that's right: The pretty sky! Not bad, Not bad at all ... I wonder if it will snow tonight."

I started by giving you the end of the song, let's see if anyone recognizes the beginning:
"They like me, I think they're swell! Isn't it remarkable How things turn out so well!"

"Pleasant day, pretty sky! Life goes on, here I lie. Not bad, not bad at all. Cozy home, board and bed, Sturdy roof beneath my head. Not bad, not bad at all."

This one wasn't meant to be difficult. Perhaps it's not as familiar to our colleagues across the Atlantic, but it's a very frequently-produced show in the States (I've done it twice). Only requires 6 performers, simple set & costumes, relatively simple music (at least the original version; some changes were made for a recent revival).
And anyway, I thought "Sturdy roof beneath my head" was a dead giveaway ...
