Daveed Diggs - Easter Bonnet 2016: The Fleet Street Remix lyrics

[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 bloody 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' for bloody 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, lust-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** is sick [Verse 7: Andrew Chapelle] 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 k** for yourself [Andrew Chapelle] 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 nobody 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 [Company] On Fleet Street, clean sweep, cut ‘em all down [Lin-Manuel Miranda] But the work waits... [Company] 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] Demon Barber Sweeney Todd (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 (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**ed with him [Anthony Ramos (Anthony)] Me, I trusted him [Andrew Chapelle (Pirelli)] Me, I shaved with 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? 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!
