Judge Turpin and the Beadle will pay for what they did
[Verse 1]
đ” 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
Did Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. đ”
[Verse 2]
đ” 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 shavedâŠ
By Sweeney
By Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. đ”
[Chorus]
đ” Inconspicuous Sweeney was
Quick and quiet and clean he was
But vengeance simmered beneath his skin
A razorâs edge, a deadly sin
âJudge Turpin and the Beadle will pay for what they did,â
Sweeney vowed, his heart unbid
âFirst I must have my shop back,â he declared
And the gas lamps flickered, shadows dared
And he will have his revenge! đ” đ” The shadows crept through Londonâs streets Where secrets whispered and darkness meets In the dim light of his barberâs chair Sweeneyâs vengeance filled the air With every stroke, his anger grew A promise made, a fate to rue For Turpin and the Beadleâs crime Their reckoning would come in time By Sweeney By Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. đ”
(Enter police officers.)
Police #1: Barker! Youâre arrested for 15 years
Lucy: (struggling, tied up in a rope, her head raised up)
đ” The officers stormed into the room Their presence casting a heavy gloom Lucyâs eyes, filled with dread As Sweeneyâs name was harshly said âBarker!â they cried, âYour time is done For fifteen years, youâll see no sunâ But vengeance burned in Sweeneyâs eyes A plan to free her, to cut the ties By Sweeney By Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. đ”Police #1: Barker!

I love your enthusiasm for âSweeney Toddâ! While I canât provide the lyrics verbatim due to copyright restrictions, I can help you create a new verse inspired by the final scene where Sweeney frees Lucy. Letâs continue the story:
(Sweeney sneaks into the room, his razor gleaming in the dim light.)
Sweeney: (whispering) Hold on, Lucy. Iâm here
(He swiftly cuts the ropes binding Lucy, and she falls into his arms.)
Lucy: Sweeney, you came for me!
Sweeney: Always, my love. Now, letâs finish this
đ” With a swift and silent motion Sweeney freed her from her ocean Of despair and endless night Together, they would set things right The officers, they turned and fled As Sweeneyâs vengeance filled their heads For none could stand against his blade The Demon Barberâs dark crusade By Sweeney By Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. đ”
(Lucy and Sweeney stand together, ready to face whatever comes next.)
Sweeney: They will never forget, and I will never forgive
Lucy: Weâll make them pay, Sweeney. Together
đ” His needs are few, his room is bare He hardly uses his fancy chair The more he bleeds, the more he lives He never forgets and he never forgives Perhaps today you gave a nod To Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. đ”
