Stephen Sondheim - Finale (The Ballad of Sweeney Todd) lyrics

[COMPANY] 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 moralize! 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 parlor hall Sweeney leans of the offices 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 Is Sweeney! There he is, it's Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney! There! There! There! There! There! There! There! 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, and seldom as well As Sweeney As Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet . . . . . Street!
