The Ballad of Sweeney Todd: "His Hands Were Quick, His Fingers Were Strong"

Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim Music: Stephen Sondheim His hands were quick, his fingers strong It stung a little but not for long And those who thought him a simple clod Were soon reconsidering under the sod Consigned there with a friendly prod From Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street See your razor gleam, Sweeney Feel how well it fits As it floats across the throats of hypocrites
