"Parlor Song" lyrics
John Rapson Lyrics
(from "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2023 Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
[BEADLE:]
Sweet Polly Plunkett lay in the grass
Turned her eyes heavenward, sighing
"I am a lass who alas loves a lad
Who alas has a lass in Canterbury
'Tis a row dow diddle dow day
'Tis a row dow diddle dow dee..."
Sweet Polly Plunkett saw her life pass
Flow down the city road, crying
"Oh, I am a lass who alas loves a lad
Who alas has a lass loves another lad
Who once I had
In Canterbury
'Tis a row dow diddle dow day
'Tis a row dow diddle dow dee..."
Sweet Polly Plunkett lay in the grass
Turned her eyes heavenward, sighing
"I am a lass who alas loves a lad
Who alas has a lass in Canterbury
'Tis a row dow diddle dow day
'Tis a row dow diddle dow dee..."
Sweet Polly Plunkett saw her life pass
Flow down the city road, crying
"Oh, I am a lass who alas loves a lad
Who alas has a lass loves another lad
Who once I had
In Canterbury
'Tis a row dow diddle dow day
'Tis a row dow diddle dow dee..."
