Dee Snider - The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd Lyrics
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
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
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 impeccably shaved.
By Sweeney, by Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Swing your razor wide!
Freely flows the blood of those who moralize.
Sweeney
Sweeney
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 deserved a nod,
Did Sweeney Todd?
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Inconspicuous Sweeney was,
Quick, and quiet and clean he was.
Back of his smile, under his word,
Sweeney heard music that nobody heard.
Sweeney pondered and Sweeney planned,
Like a perfect machine he planned.
Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle,
Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle
Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle
Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle
Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle,
Sweeney would blink, and rats would scuttle
Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney!
Sweeney!
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd!
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd!
He served a dark and avengeful God!
He served a dark and avengeful God!
What happened then, well that's the play,
And he wouldn't want us to give it away...
Not Sweeney
Not Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet...
Street
Sweeney! Sweeney!
Sweeney! Sweeney!
Sweeney! Sweeney!

Dee Snider The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd Comments
Dee Snider is a musical genius. no one has ever known this and it's sad.
Amazing version ! Love Sweeney , love the music , love Stephen Sondheim , Love Patti LuPone and Michal Cerveris , and love this incredible version :3 wau <3
I can't believe Judge Turpin made four different profiles and disliked this video on all of them.
Incredible!!!!
I love how the music for Sweeney Todd never has to end
I cannot decide how I feel about this.....
Anyone else hear this on Pandora and come running to hear more
Yep. Totally did.
I am an audio engineering student. First of all, it is very obvious that sufficient pitch correction was used on this recording. Second of all, while pitch correcting software didn't exist during the anolog days, producers had other methods of covering up vocal mistakes like double vocals, a shit ton of reverb, raising the levels of the rhythm section so the vocals stood out less, and over compressing so not as many dynamics were noticeable.
Your a special kind of stupid aint ya? I didn't know 2012 was still analog, god am i out of the loop
let people enjoy art without deconstructing it, leave that in the classroom
I agree and disagree this music is great but modern music is not bad unless its rap then it sucks but give modern music a chance man you just need to find the right people though the rly big people Justin Bieber Lil Wayne rly don't deserve it
uncultured twat...
THIS IS F***ING AMAZING! IT WORKS!
Point is, it was a musical before it was a film.
Better than the whole movie!
thought it was a west end
Oh my God! Awesome! It shakes my bones
I had this suggested to me by Pandora and thought I was going to hate it.... Boy was I wrong. *rocks out.*
it is a broadway musical
I like every version of this, 80s, the revival, the movie, London 2012, and this version, want to hear more if anything
today's music makes this music twice as awesome.
Oh my Helena.....this is too awesome!!!! x3
.... I never thought something like this would exist O_O.... I like it! :D
I concur with rodm40. Crawl back into your mother's basement and your pathetic, sterile little life. Dee has more talent than any ten of today's so-called "musicians". Hell, if it weren't for Dee standing up in the late 80's against the PMRC your precious "singer" of today wouldn't even have a career. Dee Snider and Twisted Sister...Stay Hungry my kindred metalheads!
wow, didn't know joe dirt had a youtube account xD
This is AWESOME!
I could not agree more! thank you sir, for speaking the truth!!
this kicks sooooooo much ass!!!!!!!
that's weak, he's got more talent then you could possibly dream. do us all a favor and go back to listeing to beiber.
your tasteless you must like the sad tasteless music that our youth is putting out today today's rock sucks singers cant sing without enhancements from digital vocal enhancers and the sorry guitar players cant even play a riff only basic chords pumped out of loud amps to hide how bad they suck. real guitarist are the 80's rockers and singers
Must Have album of the year!
Thank you good sir for uploading this. You've gone up a notch in my books, you're now at notch 1
MG THE ALBUM IS AWESOME -DEE IS SO CRAZY AWESOME GREAT VOICE
this is amazing how come so few views
I like this guy. He is so crazy :).
this is epic
