A tenner tare of Sweeney Todd
His skin was pale and his eye was odd
He saved the faces of gentle men
Who never thereafter were heard of again
He trod a path that few have trod
The Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
ย
He kept a shop in London town
Of fancy clients he had renowned
And wore his bill of the souls he saved
He went to them with a grin and they could be saved
My Sweeney
My Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
ย
Swing your razor wide, Sweeney
Call into the sky
Free they flows, the blood of those
Who were more alive
His needs were few, his room was bare
A lover or with a friend to tear
Among his sons in a land of strife
A blade from the towel, a pail and a mop
Forgiveness he deserved the night
Did Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
Inconspicuous in he was
Quick and quiet a being he was
Packed with a smile under his grin
Sweeney heard me but nobody heard
Sweeney pondered it, Sweeney planned
Like a perfect machine he planned
Seven scores, Sweeney was so
Sweeney would blink and rest his ghost
Sweeney, Sweeney, Sweeney, Sweeney
Sweeney, Sweeney, Sweeney, Sweeney
Swing your razor wide, Sweeney
Call into the sky
Free they flows, the blood of those
Who were more alive
A tenner tare of Sweeney Todd
He served a dark and a vengeful god
Was Harry Bimble that's the play
And he wouldn't want it to give it away
No, Sweeney
No, Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
