The Ballad of Sweeney Todd: “Lift Your Razor High Sweeney” by Stephen Sondheim Lyrics
[COMPANY]
Lift your razor high, Sweeney!
Hear it singing!
Yes!
Stick it in the rosy skin of righteousness!
His voice was soft, his manner mild
He seldom laughed but he often smiled
He'd seen how civilized men behaved
He never forgot and he never forgave
Not Sweeney...
Not Sweeney Todd...
The demon barber of Fleet Street
Lift your razor high, Sweeney!
Hear it singing!
Yes!
Stick it in the rosy skin of righteousness!
His voice was soft, his manner mild
He seldom laughed but he often smiled
He'd seen how civilized men behaved
He never forgot and he never forgave
Not Sweeney...
Not Sweeney Todd...
The demon barber of Fleet Street
