The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd: "Sweeney Pondered and Sweeney Planned" [Original Broadway Cast Recording]
Stephen Sondheim
Sweeney pondered and Sweeney planned
Like a perfect machine 'e planned
Barbing the hook, baiting the trap
Setting it out for the Beadle to snap
Slyly courted 'im, Sweeney did
Set a sort of scene, 'e did
Laying the trail, showing the traces
Letting it lead to higher places
Sweeney
