Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
Did Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
By Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
[Bridge]
Swing your razor wide, Sweeney
Hold it to the skies
Freely flows the blood of those who moralize
[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
To Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
[Bridge]
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 parlor hall
Sweeney leans on the office wall
[Bridge]
No one can help, nothing can hide you
Isn't that Sweeney there beside you?
Sweeney wishes the world away
Sweeney's weeping, yes, Sweeney's weeping for yesterday
Is Sweeney
There he is, it's Sweeney
Sweeney! Sweeney!
Sweeney! Sweeney!
Sweeney!
There! There! There! There! There! There! There!
There!
[Verse 4]
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd
He served a dark and a hungry god
He served a dark and a hungry god
To seek revenge may lead to hell
But everyone does it, if seldom as well
As Sweeney
[Refrain]
As Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet
Street
Written by: Stephen Sondheim
