Stephen Sondheim
The Ballad of Sweeney Todd

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 impеccably shaved
By Sweeney
By Sweeney Todd
Thе Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Swing your razor wide, Sweeney
Hold it to the skies
Freely flows the blood of those who moralize

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd (Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd)
He served a dark and a vengeful god (He served a dark and a vengeful god)
What happened then, well, that's the play
And he wouldn't want us to give it away
Not Sweeney
Not Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
