Quotes / Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Demon Barber Sweeney Todd
We will now attend the tale for you
You could never back down
You had to swing your razor
High!

— "Demon Barber Sweeney Todd", a parody of "Alexander Hamilton" performed by the original cast of Hamilton

Some say he's crazy, some say he's mad
Some say revenge is what drove him to bad
Was he a victim of vicious black lies?
I am the demon the demon he cries

— Saxon, "Demon Sweeney Todd"

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

— From "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd"
