Stephen Sondheim
The Ballad of Sweeney Todd: “His Hands Were Quick, His Fingers Strong”
[TENOR 1]
His hands were quick, his fingers strong
It stung a little but not for long

[TENOR 2]
And those who thought him a simple clod
Were soon reconsidering under the sod

[TENOR 3]
Consigned there with a friendly prod

[THREE TENORS]
From Sweeney Todd

[TENOR 3]
The demon barber of Fleet Street

[THREE TENORS]
See your razor gleam, Sweeney
Feel how well it fits (how well it fits)
As it floats
Across the throats
Of hypocrites...
