The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd: Lift Your Razor High, ...
Stephen Sondheim
Company:
Lift your razor high, Sweeney!
Hear it singing, “Yes!”
Sink it in the rosy skin
Of righteousness!
Men:
His voice was soft,
His manner mild.
Women:
He seldom laughed,
But he often smiled.
Company:
He’d seen how civilized men behave.
He never forgot and he never forgave,
Not Sweeney,
Not Sweeney Todd—
The demon barber of Fleet Street.
