The Ballad of Sweeney Todd (Opening) Josh Groban, Jordan Fisher, Gaten Matarazzo, Jamie Jackson, John Rapson, Maria Bilbao, Nicholas Christopher, Ruthie Ann Miles & Sweeney Todd 2023 Broadway Company

[A MAN]
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

[ANOTHER MAN]
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

[COMPANY]
Swing your razor wide, Sweeney!
Hold it to the skies!
Freely flows the blood of those
Who moralize!

His needs were few, his room was bare
A lavabo and a fancy chair
A mug of suds and a leather strop
An apron, a towel, a pail and a mop
For neatness he deserves a nod
Does Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet Street
