Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2023 Broadway Cast Recording)
The Ballad of Sweeney Todd (Finale)
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd
His skin was pale and his eye was odd
He shaved the faces of gentlemen
Who never thereafter were heard of again
He trod a path that few have trod
Did Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
He kept a shop in London town
Of fancy clients and good renown
And what if none of their souls were saved?
They went to their maker impeccably shaved
By Sweeney
By Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
Swing your razor wide, Sweeney!
Hold it to the skies!
Freely flows the blood of those
Who moralise!
His needs are few, his room is bare
He hardly uses his fancy chair
The more he bleeds, the more he lives
He never forgets and he never forgives
Perhaps today you gave a nod
To Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
Sweeney wishes the world away
Sweeney's weeping for yesterday
Hugging the blade, waiting the years
Hearing the music that nobody hears
Sweeney waits in the parlour hall
Sweeney leans on the office wall
No one can help, nothing can hide you-
Isn't that Sweeney there beside you?
Sweeney wishes the world away
Sweeney's weeping for yesterday
No one can help, nothing can hide you—
Isn't that Sweeney there beside you?
Sweeney wishes the world away
Sweeney's weeping for yesterday
Is Sweeney!
There he is, it's Sweeney!
Sweeney! Sweeney!
There!
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd!
He served a dark and a hungry god!
To seek revenge may lead to Hell
But everyone does it, though seldom as well
As Sweeney
As Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street!
His skin was pale and his eye was odd
He shaved the faces of gentlemen
Who never thereafter were heard of again
He trod a path that few have trod
Did Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
He kept a shop in London town
Of fancy clients and good renown
And what if none of their souls were saved?
They went to their maker impeccably shaved
By Sweeney
By Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
Swing your razor wide, Sweeney!
Hold it to the skies!
Freely flows the blood of those
Who moralise!
His needs are few, his room is bare
He hardly uses his fancy chair
The more he bleeds, the more he lives
He never forgets and he never forgives
Perhaps today you gave a nod
To Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
Sweeney wishes the world away
Sweeney's weeping for yesterday
Hugging the blade, waiting the years
Hearing the music that nobody hears
Sweeney waits in the parlour hall
Sweeney leans on the office wall
No one can help, nothing can hide you-
Isn't that Sweeney there beside you?
Sweeney wishes the world away
Sweeney's weeping for yesterday
No one can help, nothing can hide you—
Isn't that Sweeney there beside you?
Sweeney wishes the world away
Sweeney's weeping for yesterday
Is Sweeney!
There he is, it's Sweeney!
Sweeney! Sweeney!
There!
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd!
He served a dark and a hungry god!
To seek revenge may lead to Hell
But everyone does it, though seldom as well
As Sweeney
As Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street!
