lirik lagu lin-manuel miranda - easter bonnet 2016: the fleet street remix
[verse 1: leslie odom jr.]
how does a master’s gore-filled sumptuous score
and a plot skimmed hot from a british novel
involving a convict, hopped up on conflict
washed up in london harbor
grow up to be a bl–dy demon barber?
[verse 2: anthony ramos]
the mean barber used to bein’ benjamin barker
got a lot darker by bein’ a lot odder
by seein’ a lot of trauma
be seein’ his baby mama
swiped from the scene…
sent screaming away from his wife and daughter
[verse 3: daveed diggs]
and every day while shaves were being flaunted and sauntered away
by italian knaves, he struggled and kept his shop up
inside, he was longin’ or bl–dy beadles to chop up
the barber was ready for judges’ jugulars he could mop up
[verse 4: okieriete onaodowan]
then a green finch came and linnet birds rained
our man saw his future drip dripping’ down the drain
put a razor to his nasal, connected it to his brain
and he straight up went insane, his arm was complete again…
[verse 5: leslie odom jr.]
well the word got around they said, “this can’t be the same man”
sent away to prison like valjean in a chain gang
get yourself a station, a place to practice your aim
and the world is gonna know your name, what’s your name man?”
[chorus: lin-manuel miranda]
demon barber sweeney todd
i am the demon barber sweeney todd
indeed, i serve a dark and vengeful god
but the work… waits…
[verse 6: renee elise goldeberry]
judge turpin ordered him to split, full of it, l-st-ridden
some years later, see turpin and his ward just sittin’
flushed, spittin’ as he locks her up quick, his hair slick
[company]
johanna’s not his daughter, but c’mon that sh-t is sick
[verse 7: chris jackson]
moved in with miss lovett, miss lovett would be his newest guide
cookin’ his victims into her pies, somethin’ new inside
a voice, sayin’
[company]
sweeney, you’ve gotta kill for yourself
[chris jackson]
he started the bleedin’ and feedin’ every pastry on the shelf
[verse 8: leslie odom jr.]
there woulda been several new deceased, which only grew the feast
and n-body knew that she imbued the yeast with just a little priest
started workin’
turpin was the one he saved his hand for
slicing’ up pirelli, practicing’ on the beadle bamford
[company]
scammin’
[leslie odom jr.]
for every neck he can get his hands on
[company]
plannin’
[leslie odom jr.]
for the future, see him now as he stands on
the bow of a ship headed for his hometown
on fleet street, clean sweep, cut ‘em all down
[lin-manuel miranda]
i’m alive at last…
[company]
on fleet street, clean sweep, cut ‘em all down
on fleet street, fleet street…
[lin-manuel miranda]
and i’m full of joooooooyyyyyy!!!
[chorus: company (company)]
demon barber sweeney todd
we will now attend the tale for you (we attend the tale for you)
you could never back down, you had to swing your razor
hiiiiiigh
oh, demon barber sweeney todd
here’s the tale that we regale for you
what happens next, well, that’s the play
you wouldn’t want us to give it away
the world will never be okay, ohhh
[leslie odom jr.]
the ship’s in london harbor now, see if you can spot ‘im
a young sailor named anthony right beside him
his enemies destroyed his life, his vengeance turned him rotten
[daveed diggs (as turpin), okieriete onaodowan (the beadle)]
we f-cked with him
[anthony ramos (anthony)]
me, i trusted him
[renee elise goldsberry (ms. lovett), jasmine cephas jones (johanna), alysha deslorieux (beggar woman/sweeney’s wife]
me, i loved him
[leslie odom jr.]
and me? [we hear a loud whistle, he pulls out a razor]
i’m the young toby that got him
[company]
there’s a million things he hasn’t done, but that’s the plaayyyyy…
[leslie odom jr.]
what’s your name man?
[company]
demon barber sweeney todd!
