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.
