Attend the tale of Teeny Todd
The cast is small and the staging odd.
Although the musical's barely ten
Somebody decided to do it again.
For intrigue brought a promenade
It's Teeny Todd
The smaller version of Sweeney!
There is no shop in London town.
Except two flats that are painted brown.
But think of all of the cash they'll save
The physical budget impeccably shaved
It's Teeny It's Teeny Todd
The smaller version of Sweeney.
Swing your razor low, teeny
Keep it under-sized.
And what's more
The Sondheim score Is synthesized!
Our needs are few the stage is bare
We use a miniature barber chair
The mug of suds and the leather strop
Are tiny toy props from a tiny toy shop
For cheapness we deserve a nod
It's Teeny Todd
The smaller version of Sweeney.
Big and epic-like Sweeney was
Huge and bulky the scenery was
Twenty ton bridge
Twenty ton barge
Hal prince's version was ugly but large.
Now the bigger guy Sweeney's gone
And his kid brother Teeny's on
Teeny is smooth
Even more subtle
When teeny blinks the roaches scuttle.
Teeny!
Attend the tale of Teeny Todd
Tho' Stephen Sondheim's a demigod
To bring back one of his shows today
No-one can afford the original way
They shrink it
Like Teeny Like Teeny Todd
The Sweeney version that's Tee-ny.
Ahahahaha!
